El Semanario Edison Language Academy – Together Through Two Languages (310) 828-0335 www.edison.smmusd.org FROM THE PRINCIPALS DESK: TRY THE HOUR OF CODE! DECEMBER 19-23,2016 ANNOUNCEMENTS Did you know that over 70% of all new STEM jobs are in computing and that nearly every industry is trying to hire computer programmers? Unfortunately, only 40% of U.S. high schools even offer computer science. Further, girls and people of color are dramatically underrepresented among computer science students. Computer science is about logic, problem solving and creativity. It is foundational knowledge and technology affects every field. And we want our students to be exposed to and interested in coding! The Hour of Code is a nationwide attempt to expose more children to computer science and to support teachers in directing coding activities. There are wonderful on-line resources to teach coding – appropriate even for very young children. You can check out videos and coding tutorials and games at www.code.org. While officially the Hour of Code coincides with Computer Science Education Week (December 5-11), we decided to extend it through December at Edison. Each year we ask every teacher to expose their students to coding – for an hour or more. Many of the tutorials look like games (Minecraft, StarWars, Frozen, Angry Birds, etc.) but they are teaching the fundamentals of logic and problem solving. This year we invested in a set of programmable robots (Dash) as another fun tool to teach coding, so you may be hearing about our student’s adventures in programming a robot. Hour of Code activities on www.code.org are also fun to do at home and students can go quite far with on-line free resources. If you have access to the Internet at home, sit down with your child and play some coding games together! December is a short but busy month here at Edison.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Did you know that over 70% of all new STEM jobs are in computing and that nearly every industry is trying to hire computer programmers? Unfortunately, only 40% of U.S. high schools even offer computer science. Further, girls and people of color are dramatically underrepresented among computer science students. Computer science is about logic, problem solving and creativity. It is foundational knowledge and technology affects every field. And we want our students to be exposed to and interested in coding!

The Hour of Code is a nationwide attempt to expose more children to computer science and to support teachers in directing coding activities. There are wonderful on-line resources to teach coding – appropriate even for very young children. You can check out videos and coding tutorials and games at www.code.org. While officially the Hour of Code coincides with Computer Science Education Week (December 5-11), we decided to extend it through December at Edison. Each year we ask every teacher to expose their students to coding – for an hour or more. Many of the tutorials look like games (Minecraft, StarWars, Frozen, Angry Birds, etc.) but they are teaching the fundamentals of logic and problem solving. This year we invested in a set of programmable robots (Dash) as another fun tool to teach coding, so you may be hearing about our student’s adventures in programming a robot.

ANUNCIOS ¿Sabían ustedes que más del 70% de todos los trabajos nuevos STEM son en computación y casi todas las industrias están tratando de contratar programadores de computadoras? Desafortunadamente, solamente el 40% de las preparatorias de los Estados Unidos hasta ofrecen ciencia de computación. Aún más, niñas y personas de color son dramáticamente bajo representadas entre los estudiantes de ciencia en computación. Ciencia de computación es sobre lógica, resolver problemas y creatividad. Es un conocimiento fundamental y tecnología que afecta cada trabajo. ¡Y queremos que nuestros estudiantes sean expuestos e interesados en codificar! La Hora de Código es un atentado nacional a exponer más niños a ciencia en computación y apoyar a maestros en dirigir actividades de codificar. Hay recursos maravillosos en el internet para enseñar codificación – apropiado hasta para los niños muy jóvenes. Pueden mirar videos y tutoría de codificar y juegos en www.code.org.

Aunque oficialmente la Hora de Código coincide con la Semana de Educación de Ciencia en Computación (5 – 11 de diciembre), decidimos extenderlo hasta diciembre en Edison. Cada año les pedimos a todos los maestros que expongan a sus estudiantes a codificar – por una hora o más. Mucha de la tutoría parece juegos (Minecraft, Star Wars, Frozen, Angry Birds, etc.) pero está enseñando los fundamentos de lógica y resolver problemas. Este año invertimos en un conjunto de robots programables (Dash) como otra herramienta divertida para enseñar codificación, así es que pueden escuchar sobre las aventuras de nuestros estudiantes programando a un robot. Las actividades de la Hora de Código en www.code.org también son divertidas para hacer en el hogar y los estudiantes pueden llegar muy lejos con recursos gratis en internet. ¡Si ustedes tienen acceso al internet en su hogar, siéntense con su hijo/a y jueguen algunos juegos de codificar juntos! Diciembre es un mes corto pero ocupado aquí en Edison. Aquí hay algunos de nuestros eventos especiales y fechas límites:

14 de diciembre – la clase de Maestra Murcia se van de paseo para talleres en la tienda Apple; 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. – Concilio Escolar de Edison , Salón Comunitario

JUEGOS DE MESA Y/O DVDS - Nuestros estudiantes realmente han disfrutado jugar juegos de mesa, juegos de barajas y rompe cabezas simples en la mañana antes de clases. Si ustedes tienen juegos apropiados para niños que sean simples de usar que su familia ya no use, por favor consideren donarlos a Edison. ¡También podemos usar DVDs con películas de niños (Clasificadas G) porque no hay nada como una película cuando está muy mojada para salir a recreo!
