Technology: Big exciting news: we are beta-testing a virtual coding program that allows our students to complete coding challenges online. If you are interested in trying this with your student, go to code-beta.makewonder.com. Teacher code is pc8gm. Look under “5th grade” then scroll until you find your child’s name. Your child can try to complete puzzles and have some fun exploring this site! If you run into any glitches, please email me (see Ms. Arnold’s email below) and I will forward your comments and questions to the company, since this is a beta test, there may be some! Also, this only works with ChromeBooks and laptops and is not compatible with iPads or phones, yet! Also, create a Dash & Dot comic strip (see attached comic strips with blank talk bubbles).
