National Computer Science Week!

My kindergarten and first graders are excited to be celebrating National Computer Science Week this week!  We are reading Doug Unplugged by Dan Yaccarino, another of the SC Picture Book Award Nominees this year.  Doug is a robot who is learning new things, which leads us into talking about how computers and robots work and are programmed.

After reading our book, the students are getting a taste of computer programming through the code.org website. We don't have time to do a whole hour of code, but the students are really enjoying getting a taste of it and then I am sending home the website so they can impress their parents with their coding skills.
