Hour of Code

On Tuesday our class participated in the Hour of Code. This is a global event to expose students to computer science. The boys and girls had to write the code of a video game. The children loved doing this! It was definitely challenging and required students to use problem solving and logical thinking skills. If the children would like to continue coding they can click on the link below.

They can also try the other challenges on the page, such as the Frozen Game or Star Wars.

The students were very focused!

Multiplication Websites

The children have been working hard to learn their multiplication tables. We have been playing math games, hopping on a number line, drawing arrays,  practicing with flash cards and demonstrating understanding by building facts with tiles. All of our hard work is paying off! I've notice everyone is getting quicker with their facts! I encourage the children to practice a few minutes every day. 

Here are some great websites for practicing multiplication facts-
