This week is Computer Science Education Week. Each year we celebrate computer science by doing some coding and learning facts about coding over the announcements. The official hashtag is #HourofCode although it can be for any length of time.
In the library, we have been using Tynker's Candy Quest with 2nd grade. The students have loved moving the blocks around to make the monster walk and jump to get to the candy.
#Girlscode is a popular thing on social media to encourage girls to enter the field of coding as well. In the library, boys and girls love coding!
Ms. Fallad's class was the first to win a certificate for completing the whole course.
For kindergarten and 1st grade, we used a new Santa coding game from Google. The students worked as a class to help Santa get to all the presents.
On Monday, we took a pause from coding to enjoy #nationalninjaday! The students loved hearing a holiday ninja book.
Then, we practiced our ninja skills by dancing to "Kung Foo Fighting" and doing a ninja training video from GoNoodle.com.
It sure has been a fun week in the library and it will continue next week as we learn about holiday traditions. #superspecialsholiday
