Hour of Code

This week, Glenridge is participating in a world-wide event called Hour of Code.  5S will get the opportunity to have our hour of code on Wed, Dec 10th.  Students will get to spend time exploring self-guided tutorials to learn about coding and computer programming.  I began my journey into this area of technology last Friday and it definitely hurt my brain little bit.  However, I was successful in animating the first few letters of my name... it's a work in progress.  Please use the resources below to learn more about Hour of Code, to encourage your child's development of these skills, and even try your hand at coding.
