Our 2nd graders and Mrs. Bloom shined so much light through the music and sounds of our fine arts nights this week!

Third graders are finalizing their animated graphics this week as we wrap up their Digital Animators coding unit. Within this unit, students combined their knowledge of the coding concepts "sequences," "events," and "sprites," the math concept of quadrilaterals, and the science concept of life cycle stages. After researching a chosen insect, students used digital tools to design sprites (a 2D, programmable graphic) to represent each of that animal's 4 life cycle stages. Finally, they wrote code to program these sprites so that they appear in order, as well as display the name of the life cycle stage and move when each sprite is clicked. These young computer programmers/scientists/artists/mathematicians rocked this challenge!

Wilson Creek is hosting the Scholastic book fair this week! All EC and K-2 students will attend with their class. PFA students are welcome to shop the fair with their parents at AM drop off or PM pick up! This is a great time to promote the love of reading with your children!
