Hour of Code 2016

This is the third year that we have participated in the Hour of Code in the Media Center. Kindergarten through 5th grade participated. All grades "unplugged" to learn some of the processes that coders use such as logical thinking. Kindergarten through 3rd grade worked through different versions of programming a "robot" while 4th and 5th graders learned about how packets travel across the Internet and what can cause a network to go down. Some of the upper grades also tried their hand at coding through their choice of sites on their second visit. These sites are always available for students to use through the "Learn to Code" page on our MediaWiki.

The Singing Zoologist

Kindergarten through 3rd grade really enjoyed our visit with Lucas Miller, the Singing Zoologist today.
Mr. Miller's shows were different for each grade level and his hilarious, but scientifically true songs about subjects such as metamorphosis and ocelots, were as educational as they were funny.
