STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
Students continue to do great Python Creative Tasks
Students in the Coding 2 classes have an opportunity to brainstorm and design their own Creative task. Students use the coding elements they have learned thus far to create anything they can think of. It is a way for them to have fun and discover the power of creativity through code. Tasnim Afrose coded the penguin, Sherry Zhang coded the lantern scene and Samir Haque created Freddie.
Invasive Species Lesson
Easter Egg Hunt
On Thursday, April 1st, the School Counselors organized a school-wide Easter Egg Hunt. Each classroom was given 5 eggs to be hidden. The plastic eggs contained candy as well as either a positive quote, or act of kindness in it. Students were directed to find the eggs right from their seats (to keep things at a social distance). Each pod also had a Golden Egg hidden in one lucky classroom. The students who found the golden eggs were given a Fernwood t-shirt (donated by Renaissance).
7th grade counselor, Jill Pappas, dressed as the Easter bunny and went around to wish the students a safe and happy spring break.
