Hello Kids and Parents: Learning Links are the education sites or subscription sites that we use in our classroom. December is the opening of our Coding Unit. Each grade level has a goal of completing a course in class and at home. Yes, there is homework in Technology as it is now infused throughout the curriculum. Our focus is on keyboarding, coding, digital communication, digital literacy and citizenship, and core academic subjects like math and language arts.
