WELCOME BACK TO A NEW YEAR:)!! I took Mr. Schindler's 6th grade class last YEAR - yikes, as he is the softball coach and had to leave early for a game, so I had the kiddos code. They went to Anybody Can Code/Hour of Code website and really had a LOT of fun!
Here's what I LOVE about it:
1. Kids can work at their own pace
2. They get FRUSTRATED and have to PROBLEM SOLVE and think outside the box
3. Many don't know WHAT to do - but quickly figure it out;)!
4. The ones that maybe aren't the "book smartest" are AMAZING at this and feel success
5. The collaboration that takes place amongst the kiddos is awesome to see
6. They can do it at home - so it DOES NOT end here
7. They WANT to do it and are EXCITED about it;)!!
I could really go on and on with this one - as it's SO great to see them in an environment that they don't get to do often!
I will post about beginning of the year mishaps - and there were a TON TON of them - tomorrow - Happy Monday night all -
