ELC at George Earle Weekly Update
Before Spring Break, the kids were introduced to our coding mice! We started very simple and were introduced to the concept of coding and got some hands on time with the mice to see if we thought what we were telling it to do with the buttons is what happened when we hit go. We are going to build on this and spend the next few weeks in both library and STEM working on becoming coding masters and will eventually be able to tell Colby the mouse how to get from the start of the maze to the end. Not only will the mice travel through mazes we make through programming and sequencing, the mice also light-up and make sounds. Ms. Fraze started the lesson in library this week with reading If You Give a Mouse a Cookie which introduced them to the if/then thought process. If one thing happens, then another thing happens, and so on and so forth. The kiddos all also got a copy of that book to keep for their at home libraries! Mom's and Dad's, we sure hope you can join us at the Makers Fair on Wednesday April 10th at the High School to see what we have learned to do! We can't wait to show you! There will be kiddos aged Kindergarten-12th grade showing off all their talents as well. There will be SO MANY COOL things to see, so please pencil in the date to join us at the Hobart High School Fieldhouse anywhere between 6 & 8pm on Wednesday 4/10 to check it all out.
