Coding

Dear Families,
I wanted to let you know that we participated in a world-wide coding challenge for students today.  They did an amazing job and I wanted to share the web address with you so your child can continue at home if he/she wishes to.
The url is code.org
Click on "learn" and then scroll down to Minecraft.
We started coding in Minecraft Adventure today.

Computer coding teaches so much more than just computer-specific skills; it teaches problem-solving, stamina and fine-motor skills.  It also encourages risk-taking in students as they try to move their Minecraft characters through a series of increasingly challenging tasks.

Have fun coding at home!
