Hour of Code
Hour of Code was a big success! We had students at all grade levels coding last week. It was so wonderful to see their excitement each time they wrote a successful series of codes. If you'd like to share resources with your students and their families, please direct them to code.org.
Want to continue coding in your classroom? There are coding apps available on all of our iPads!
Kindergarten - Kodable
First Grade - The Foos & ScratchJr
Second Grade - The Foos & ScratchJr
Carts - The Foos, ScratchJr, & Swift Playgrounds
If you would like any instruction on these apps, please let me know!
