What fun it has been to see the creative "unplugged" coding happening at home. Thank you for emailing your images to me.
This week I'd like students to dive into Code.org as much or as little as they like. Students will be given a login code and password image. There is no minimum or maximum of time expected to work in Code.org. Simply enjoy the process. |
WELCOME BACK!
|
This week in Discovery we are starting a unit on coding. Students will learn why coding matters, common vocabulary, simple strategies, and explore with "un-plugged" coding algorithms.

This week in Discovery, we reviewed the field experience with the Rexburg Animal Shelter, generated a list of NEEDS for the shelter, outlined goals to meet needs, and began writing a plan of action.
At home, Discovery students have been asked to write a PLAN for a way they can support the Rexburg Animal Shelter. This plan includes a list of materials. Collect any materials you have at home and send them next week. Please DO NOT PURCHASE materials for this project. Email me any items you may need outside your home and I will get them.

Please check your email for specific information about the Discovery Field Experience involving the Rexburg Animal Shelter. Thank you. |
WEEK 2
DUE WEEK OF OCT 10-14 |
This week we continued conversations about Growth vs Fixed Mindset. After watching Episode 3, each group generated words that help us use the Power of Yet more fully as we help our brains send growth messages. Older groups learned about neurons that send messages and how we determine the power of those messages. (Vocabulary: nucleus, cell body, dendrites, axon, synapse)
At home, students are to continue conversation with parents using one of the following scenarios:

WEEK 1

In Discovery this week, we introduced Growth Mindset. Students talked about the brain as a muscle. Efforts and experiences help us strengthen and grow our brains.
This week at home, please watch the next clip in this series, Episode 2 (3 minutes). Think of how mistakes can help us learn. Choose one of the activities below to create a message you could share with friends and family that shows how mistakes help us grow our brains. |
