Studio Code

This week the fourth graders tried something new and exciting on the Chromebooks... computer coding!

Using Studio Code, students created an accounted and practiced coding a Minecraft character to complete different tasks. Prior to giving actual coding a try, students practiced graph paper programming, which allowed them to create designs on a grid and provide the directions to create the same grid using a series of symbols. 

Students each have their own account and may try the following coding activities at home:

We are completing Course 2 together in class, so it is important that students DO NOT work ahead in our coursework. This way we are all working at the same pace and can help one another when needed. We plan on spending about an hour each week learning how to code! 

Ask your child to show you what they've learned about coding! :)
