What a great day we had today!
We kicked it off with a raucous sing along for an hour in the morning. It was a wonderful spirit raising event. I was very impressed with the school band, the enthusiasm of the teachers and students and the wonderful energy in the room.
Then we did our Day of Code. Here are some pictures of students working on coding. I've blurred faces to protect students identity.
I'd really like to encourage students to continue playing with coding on that site (www.hourofcode.com). There are lots of other sites you can find that will teach you to code as well. Here's one from our friends at Khan Academy.
It certainly is amazing how we can create something on our computer that can potentially be used by millions if not billions of people. This is really a first in the world.
After coding we had a super party. We had lots of food and played lots of fun games. A great time!
Thank you so much to all the students and parents for all the gifts! Also, thanks for making the year such a great one!
Enjoy the break!
See you in 2015!
