Intro to Computer Science!

Welcome Parents!

My name is Mrs. Villanueva and together with Mr. Saxton, we form the Computer Science Team at P.S. 8.  I handle the instruction of your children grades K-5 while Mr. Saxton handles all the tech needs of our school. 


During the months of September and October, the children in the classes I work directly with have engaged in Computer Science lessons covering topics both plugged and unplugged such as:

On this site, we will be showcasing some of the work completed by classes.  

Please keep in mind that we will periodically share pictures of children as they engage in work but we can only publish pictures of children who have a Media Release Form on file.



PLUGGED means...

We work connected to a device like a Chromebook or an iPad to learn and practice Computer Science concepts. 

UNPLUGGED means...

We work on Computer Science  concepts without devices and use pencil and paper to work our ideas out.
