What an outstanding start to the school year! Classes dove
right into work, setting up their Code.org accounts and learning pair
programming on day 1!
This week the STEAM lab hosted:
Ms. Colmenero’s Kindergarten – who did a great job learning so
many new things! They learned their passwords, how to use the track pad on the
laptops, how to navigate to their coding course, and how to create algorithms
for a range of simple tasks.
Ms. Leal’s 1st grade and Ms. James’ 2nd
grade, who were mostly Panther veterans and were ready for new challenges! They
created algorithms to solve puzzles and also started using loops to simplify
their code.
All three classes definitely earned Free Build Friday!
Ms. Noell’s 3rd grade, Ms. Lee’s 4th
grade, and Ms. Purvey’s 5th grade, whoalso set up their new Code.org
accounts. What’s new for these groups was the new Padlet goals and reflections process
and uploading and sharing their Scratch projects to a studio.
These 3 grade levels loved seeing everyone’s projects during
Friday’s digital Gallery Walk.
Have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day!
