Birthday binary code bracelets with Nixon’s 3rd graders was the absolute highlight of my day! 🤩 Ss chose 2 different colors to represent 0 and 1. Then, we translated our birthdays into binary code, and turned them into bracelets with colored beads! #CSforALL #CSEdWeek

Ms. Batcheler’s 3rd graders worked through task card challenges and mazes with #Dash ! Ss used iPads to code Dash using the Blockly app 🤖 #coding #CSforALL #CSEdWeek

3rd and 4th grade is playing Dreidel Bot in the library! Ss worked in groups to fill in their color code maps and turned @Ozobot into a dreidel ✨@jameshunster #coding #CSforALL #CSEdWeek

Trick or treat! 👻 3rd grade used their multiplication skills to help @Ozobot collect the most candy 🍬

Reviewing our map skills with Bee Bots 🐝 🤖Ss pick an animal or destination card, lay out a sequence of direction cards Bee Bot will travel, then code! #CS #CSforAll

Ms. Oliver’s 2nd graders solved the Magnetic Mixup 🧲 and broke out!!! 🔐 @breakoutEDU #breakoutEDU #breakoutEDUambassador

Telling time with 1st grade! Ms. Quinn’s students are rockstars. We made a class book showing what we might do at different times throughout the day ⌚️⏰I’m pretty sure @BookCreatorApp is their favorite app now 🤩

3rd grade is solving 3 digit problems with ozobot! Ss roll dice to randomly make their numbers. Then, we added u-turn and speed codes on the map. Lastly, Ozobot drove around the mat and created our problems for us to solve! 🤖 @Ozobot

[Katie Hall Novinger @KNovITC]

2nd grade has already caught the BUZZ 🐝! Ss wrote sequences of events to help Bee Bot sort odd and even numbers. We used 20-sided dice and the plow attachment to move the dice to the correct side #coding #CSforAll

@TraciPiltz Instructional Technology Training Specialist or ITTS! Personally, I like Instructional Technology Specialist without the extra T better 🤷🏻‍♀️

4th grade is using @BookCreatorApp to showcase Virginia’s geography, products and industries! 🐄🍎🚢

[Katie Hall Novinger @KNovITC]

Back in classrooms!! We used @BookCreatorApp with Ms. Chua’s 3rd graders last week. Ss competed a teacher-created template on animal adaptations 🦒🦓 🦔 and researched some animals further using #PebbleGo and #WorldBookOnline! 📖@CapstonePub @worldbookinc

[Katie Hall Novinger @KNovITC]

1st grade wrapped up the year with @ScratchJr ! We created underwater worlds and beach scenes to kick off summer ☀️🌊

Ss added at least 3 characters and made them move. Lots of us chose to use the repeat 🔁 block to keep them moving forever! #coding

[Katie Hall Novinger @KNovITC]

Collaborating with Ms. Jordan and working with her 3rd graders is always a blast 😄 Ss reviewed area and perimeter throughout the hall with a self-checking QR code activity. Quick, super easy to put together and fun!!

[Katie Hall Novinger @KNovITC]

These kindergarteners are on fire spelling their CVC words! 😎 Ss came up with a list of words they would spell with their letter mat, then spelled them out with Bee Bots 🐝
