The child is made of one hundred. The child has a hundred languages a hundred hands a hundred thoughts a hundred ways of thinking of playing, of speaking. A hundred always a hundred ways of listening of marvelling, of loving a hundred joys for singing and understanding a hundred worlds to discover a hundred worlds to dream. The child has a hundred languages (and a hundred hundred hundred more)... (Excerpt from 'No Way. The Hundred is There.' by Loris Malguzzi, translated by Lella Gandini) | In our classroom we believe that we have a hundred (and more!) ways to express ourselves. This week we explored one that is brand new to us: coding! We participated in the Hour Of Code movement with Mr. Gallagher. For our first coding experience, we used the activities from 'Course 1' for our age group on the website Code.org. If you want to continue to play with coding at home, start with THIS LEVEL, just like we did at school. |
To learn more about why coding (or programming) is important, check out this article from the Canadian Broadcasting Company: Why Kids Should Learn to Code and How to Get Them Started Thanks to Mr. Gallagher for supporting us with this experience. For a sneak peak of what we're up to next with coding, check out these Bee-Bots. Hmmm...I wonder what we'll get up to!
