Hour of Code

Today we started coding. What is coding? Coding is what makes it possible for us to create computer software, apps and websites. Your browser, your OS, the apps on your phone, Facebook, and this website – they’re all made with code. Today we practised coding. 
Visit  code.org  and have your kiddo show you some of the cool coding games we played today. The Minecraft coding game was a huge hit. Let me just say-I felt like a hero today. They were so pleased that I let them play Minecraft IN SCHOOL! 

Next week we plan on participating in the Hour of Code. The Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries. It is a great opportunity to get kiddos interested in computer science.
