Summit Street third graders participated in Hour of Code during Computer Science Education week by learning to program robots called Ozobots. Ozobots are line-following robots that move along the paths that students draw, as they recognize color patterns and execute code based upon the color sequences that students create.
Students learned general coding concepts such as algorithms, the exact order and details of programming, the process of problem-solving, and analyzing code to fix errors. Watch the students in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjm8njqdzPc

📚 🥚Hiawatha first graders recently finished a literacy unit focused on - A World of Books. Their final book was Green Eggs and Ham. As one first grader said in response to Sam not being willing to try green eggs and ham at first, "We shouldn't judge a book by its cover."
All first graders gathered to read aloud the book together and were then surprised with the opportunity to try green eggs! Watch here: https://youtu.be/uSj8_5DthVw
