Took this pic on my run this am. Little did I know I’d be learning how to use @scratch to code it into an #andywarhol inspired art lesson. #OAME2023 #iteachmath

Amazing job Kinders 😊 #kinderswhocode @Mrs_Penlington @dsbn
We have been LOVING our @LEGO_Group coding express kit. After learning about features of our community today, some K4 friends took the initiative to build a community inside their track and turned the train into a police car! @PEWelland

Amazing! & that last slide 😳👏
Another fun day using Scratch to show a deep understanding of Sum of Squares. First 3 pics are the prompts for Ss and the code I made to use as an example - last pic is the student work that puts my code to shame!😅 @scratch @dsbn #thinkingclassroom #MTH1W
