HOUR OF CODE is here

Students at Ames were introduced to The Hour of Code this week.  Learning the basics of computer programming kindergarten-second grade students had the opportunity to try their hand using computer science to solve puzzles and build games using characters from pop culture like Star Wars and Angry Birds.  If your students are interested in expanding their knowledge at home they can use the links below to keep their learning on going.  
Give it a try yourself! 
What Students did in class:
​
​Hour of Code: Kindergarten-first grade​                                
​Hour of Code: 1-5th Grade

First graders graciously donated their old stuffed animals to make art these past weeks.  After looking at the art of Fernando and Humberto Campanas, students emulated their strange artworks by making a chair using their own stuffed animals.  We can't wait to see how other people react to it.  What do you think, is this art?
