Third grade students recently combined coding and creativity by programming Finch robots with micro to draw colorful geometric designs. Students created multiple shapes in different sizes and colors while learning how coding controls movement and direction.
Through trial and error, they built problem-solving skills, persistence, and a deeper understanding of how code translates into real-world actions! 🤖🎨

Each grade level hosts a Partners in Reading event to give families valuable tools to support literacy at home. 📚
Families learn grade-level reading strategies and get an overview of how our Title I program supports early literacy. These sessions are hosted by classroom teachers, our Title I staff and administration, and are a great way to stay connected to your child’s learning journey.
When families and schools work together, everyone benefits!
