This week the Hastings Public Schools took part in a world-wide event: Hour of Code. Students from all over the world took the time to learn how to do some computer programming. In computer lab, the second graders explored programming with Angry Birds characters. Your child can access this (and more) on https://code.org/learn. This link will also provide you with more information about the event. Coding is about teamwork, critical-thinking, creativity, perseverance, and problem-solving, and the second graders were able to demonstrate all of these qualities in their hard word exploring the world of code. In the classroom, students worked in teams to explore different coding apps (all FREE!). They had so much fun and look forward to continuing their exploration! The apps we checked out were: Daisy the Dinosaur, The Foos, Box Island, and Lightbot.
