Today we celebrated Hour of Code week! As a school we take on a challenge to incorporate an hour of coding into our classrooms. Mr. Bouchard came in with eighteen Ipads and taught us a new game, Box Island!
The game challenges students to use coding to get their box all the way around the island. They need to work on problem solving skills in the beginning just getting to the stars. The farther they get around the island the more challenges they are faced with i.e. lasers, boxes, boxes that smoosh you and sea shells that block your way.
Coding is an important language that is shared around the world. It is wonderful we are able to give opportunities to students to become familiar with it at such a young age! We had fun exploring with the game and it was great to see how quickly they picked it up! Definitely a game we will be playing more of!
After we celebrated a friends sixth birthday! I truly love hearing such special moments from each year. Happy birthday!
Today was Manner Day!
I hope everyone has a wonderful hump day!
Love,
Miss Brehm
