CODING

Students in grades K-4 will finish off the year learning code.  If you are not familiar with what code is, you can visit Code.org to check this out.  The link is under my favorite links to the right.

It is hard to believe that spring testing is upon us!  Students in grades 3 and 4 have been working very hard to learn how to navigate the new Smarter Balanced assessment site.  We have played several games including a scavenger hunt and Simon says to learn our way around the site.  I feel very confident the students are very well prepared for their upcoming tests.

Next week we will begin ELA and after vacation we will finish up with Math.

Please encourage your children to get a good nights sleep, have a healthy breakfast and do their best on their assessment.

Children in grades 3 & 4 are learning a computer coding program called Logo Paths.  Once they learn to use the program on the computer, they will begin applying math concepts that will teach missing measures, and calculating perimeter.  This is all part of their Math Investigations unit they are working on in their classroom.
