Dear Parents,
We live in a world surrounded by technology. And we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly hinge on understanding how technology works. But only a tiny fraction of us are learning computer science, and less students are studying it than a decade ago.
That’s why our entire school is joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 7-13). More than 100 million students worldwide have already tried an Hour of Code.
Over the break keep Code.org up and running at home or help your child plan his or her science fair project. Last year our very own third grade student took first place in the district for her amazing idea. You never know what can be done until you try to stop and think about a new way to do something or maybe begin with a list of "I Wonder" questions. Dates to come soon!!
Best,
Mrs. S.
