Kindergarten - 2nd Grade

This is the week we are going to go back and review what we have learned about being a good digital citizen. Students will also be introduced to Toy Theater.

Kindergartners will also continue to play alphabet games.

This is the week we are going to continue on with some of our coding activities we tried the last few weeks before break from code.org. We will be creating algorithms (list of instructions to complete a task) to get the harvester to pick the crop. We will be learning about the "loop" code (or reviewing for second graders) and using that to make shorter algorithms that still solve the problem.

This is the week that people all over the world participate in this awesome event called The Hour of Code. It is an hour of activities to encourage people to find the computer science industry appealing! We will spend our time together this week and next dabbling in computer coding to get to our "hour."

This week we will continue to review and then learn a bit more about how a good digital citizen doesn't give away their personal information. Hector and his friends will help us learn a few differences when people are asking for your personal information that can help us better understand when it is safe to give it away and when it is not.

This week we are returning to our lessons about digital citizenship. We will review and then learn a bit more about how a good digital citizen doesn't give away their personal information when they are creating screen names or usernames for a game that they can interact with other people in online. There is also activities posted in Seesaw to go with this week's lesson. Sadly, once again our Friday "A" families will not have specials due to the half day.

On Wednesday, our country will pause and honor all of our veterans. This week we will spend sometime discussing what a veteran is, the history of the holiday and then choose an activity.

This week we will discuss how important it is to Embrace Differences (the E in PRIDE). We will look at how sometimes the differences between us might include different types of disabilitites and how we can be more aware of how abilities impact those around us. Technology can also assist to help make those disabilities a bit easier to work with.

This week we will discuss how our class will be set up and run slightly different with only 1/2 of each class and for some class a second 1/2 of a different class. In those classes we will take time to get to know each other. In all classes we will spend time reviewing the content we have learned so far about being a good digital citizen and the parts of the computer.

This week we will continue to learn about what good digital citizens do. We have learned about having balance and are continuing to learn about listening to our guts. We will also continue to be learning/reviewing parts of the computer.

This week we will be talking more about things good digital citizens do. Specifically that they listen to their gut and tell a trusted adult if something that makes them feel uncomfortable or give them a funny feeling happens. We will also be learning/reviewing parts of the computer.
