Kids Who Code: Part 3

Yesterday our reading buddies came to our room and WE got to be the teachers.

We showed them how to use the arrows in Kodable to move our fuzz ball from the beginning to the end of the path.

We also learned that when we are working with a partner, one person should be the driver and the other person should be the navigator. The driver holds the iPad and the navigator gives the directions. Every couple of minutes the team members switch jobs. This really helped us to be successful.

Lock Down

Today we had a practice lockdown. Mrs. Lowe explained that we need to practice just like a fire drill in case someone ever came in the school and wanted to hurt us.

We locked the door, turned off the lights and moved to a safe spot. The students did a great job of being very quiet.
