Way to code 3rd grade!!!

[Devon Garritt @DevonGarritt]

Today was our last @sphero Blocks coding session! In this activity they used variables, loops, and conditionals to code a “hot potato” game! These SS are true programmers and I can’t wait to see what they accomplish next year! #sphero #coding #programmer #thirdgrade #onlyatcba

First grade students discussed ways to be true to themselves and wrote down two words to describe that (friendly, helpful). They then used the letters in the hallway to capture pictures. Finally, they used #Keynote to put their words together. #camera #earlylearnersturnedpro

First grade read the book Iggy Peck architect by Andrea Beaty! Then we worked collaboratively to design bridges!
