Last week the students had a chance to do some computer programming using the Hour of Code program. They had a lot of fun and have been begging to do more. I have put the link to the Hour of Code website here and under useful links if you want to see what they have been doing; or allow them to continue coding at home. This has been a wonderful experience of perseverance as computer programming can be frustrating as it's like putting a puzzle together, and you have to get it just right in order for it to work. The students did a great job of problem solving as they were coding. Here is a movie of one of the Star Wars coding puzzles they had a choice to try out and code to make the characters make it through the maze:
Fort Day in 5B!
Last week students brought in blankets to create forts. This activity came to be because they earned alphabits as part of our PBIS program (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports). They earn an alphabit each time they got caught showing expected behaviors in school. When we've collected 100 alphabits for the class, we have a celebration. They enjoyed reading in their cozy forts:
