Third, fourth and fifth grade students programmed Dash robots last week during our Hour of Code activity. So fun!
Kindergarten through second grades continued the learn about coding this week in the media center. They programmed a robotic mouse to reach the winter icon that was on their card. This was a great way to celebrate Hour of Code!
Students and staff had fun with our Grinchy Day at TJ!
