After attending the TIES conference in Minneapolis this weekend, I decided to give the Hour of Code a try in my classes today. Wow. . .oh wow! What a great experience for the students and for me. I was amazed at their coding abilities and their dedication to solving each challenge. I could almost see the wheels turning in their heads and the critical thinking oozing from their brains. I cannot wait to incorporate more coding into my classes!

This year we also enjoyed Hour of Code. We (the Fifth Graders) invited the Fourth Graders to join us and the social aspect, with a spoonful of mentorship, was a very positive and activating ingredient! I just watched you on the Idea Box Show, from a while back and you requested comments, so: TA DA! Thank you for the ideas and entusiasm.
