Celebrating Gratitude in the Learning Commons
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
The Hour of Code is here!
The Hour of Code is off to a great start and student excitement is high.
When I first starting coding, I brought the Hour of Code to our class for the week. It was an important and meaningful introduction to an essential skill that we should teach our students.
It was such a success that we used almost all of the coding resources and have never missed another Hour of Code since.
Coding is an important skill that teaches students critical thinking, problem-solving, persistence, resilience, and patience. Students also have so much fun and they don't realize they are learning!
"The Hour of Code is more than trying to code - it's about learning to think in a new way. Every student can benefit from learning computational thinking!" source: code.org
Happy Coding!
Until next year...
If you're celebrating the holidays this month, we wish you the very best.
