So glad to be doing Hour of Code again this week. We are taking part in a global event aimed at introducing students to computer science and coding. We will try to connect to the website and go through the tutorials a few times, but please feel free to try this at home too! Here is the link: Hour of Code

2nd Mystery Skype

We had our second Mystery Skype this week. Now that students know how to run one, I stayed out of it as much as possible. What happened was surprising! Students really started working as a team, coming up with questions and choosing people to go up to the front to ask the question. At our debriefing after the event we were able to talk about all the great things that happened during this skype and what improvements we would like to see for the next time. Hopefully, can get our next Mystery Skype scheduled at the end of December!

Great team work!!

Place Value Sections Division

Woo hoo, we started division this week and everyone is very excited about learning place value sections division (just kidding). But really, it is not that bad once you understand what we are doing. Here is a video showing how the algorithm works. Hopefully I will be able to put more up later this week.
