Spanish and Technology

We are fortunate to have Mountain School students join us to teach us Spanish. They taught us words for colors, numbers, animals and other Spanish words. 

Ms. Martino has introduced us to coding. Here we have to figure out how to tell, through a series of commands, how to get the bee to the flower.  We discovered each level got progressively trickier. Our challenge this week was to make a map of the program we use to move the bee. Next week she will be bringing in Bee Bots for kids to actually program! 

Using a spinner and coin combinations we had to add coins and make exchanges to see who was the first to get to one dollar. It was an exciting game as we got close to the end!   In math all week we will be shopping, showing coin combinations to buy things and to practice counting up to make change. Having your children practice identifying  and counting coins at home would be beneficial.  Thanks!
