Hour of Code Continues at Gattis

Hour of Code continues, everyone is getting in on the action at Gattis. Even our Principal, Mrs. Lucas can code! Check her out as she joins Mrs. Duckworth's second graders in the library learing to code with Kodable and Lightbot apps. Kodable you can play from your computer, ipad or android.

Link: There is a link off the Student Resources Page called: CODE to make access easy at school or home. This takes you to code.org, a site with lots of online coding games that the levels build. Great to have students use on chromebooks, laptops, or computers or other devices that are internet enabled.

Hour of Code in Library

This Week is Computer Science Education Week, December 7-13. There is a movement nationwide to get students to try one hour of code. It’s much easier than it sounds!  

History of Hour of Code: More than 100 million students have tried an Hour of Code. Last year, every Apple Store in the world hosted an Hour of Code and even President Obama wrote his first line of code as part of the campaign. This year, let's make it even bigger. I’m asking you to join in for the Hour of Code 2015. Please get involved with an Hour of Code event during Computer Science Education Week, December 7-13.
