This week, your daughter participated in the Hour of Code. “The Hour of Code is a global movement reaching tens of millions of students in 180+ countries” (hourofcode.com). We use this as an introduction to the programming your daughter will be doing throughout the year. Learning the basics of programming reinforces problem solving and logic skills.
In second grade, we worked on Moana, where the students were required to use both directions and conditions to complete the code. We will continue to use these skills in Scratch Jr. and in Blockly with the Dash robot!
If you would like your daughter to explore more at home, use this link. Please note, different activities run on different devices and are appropriate for various ages.
