1st and 2nd graders played a game called "Rosie's Runtime" while learning the basics of computer programming.

This week we started our digital citizenship unit. 4th and 5th graders attempted to save Captain Digital Citizen's Passwords by "Breaking Out" of the box (almost there!). 2nd graders filled their digital footprints with information that is safe to share online. 1st graders learned how to identify websites that are "just right for kids" and to be cautious of advertisements. Check out the 2nd graders finished footprints in our Student Project Gallery.

2nd graders worked in pairs to create a pixel art design and then wrote a program for a "robotic arm" (or another student) to follow. After all students are ready, they will trade programs and try to run them to recreate the picture. We'll see if any "debugging" needs to be done.

5th graders began the building phase of their musical instrument project this week. It was such fun to see their plans come together in 3D.  I was most impressed by the perseverance and team work that prevailed as they struggled through designs that didn't work the first time. Great work Leos!
