Prior to our holiday break, Passion City Church, which is located in Atlanta, GA, donated over 400 books to our school! There were enough books for each student in our school to choose one book to keep. The books arrived boxed and grouped by grade level. There were approximately four titles for each grade level. We are so thankful to Passion City Church for thinking of our school and for arranging such a wonderful book drive for our students! During the week of December 4th, Argyle students had the opportunity to participate in an Hour of Code in the media center. This was a wonderful opportunity for all students in grades K-5 to get an introduction to coding and actually program a game rather than just play it. Some of the programs that they coded were Flappy, Google doodle designs, and CodeSpark. It was so exciting to see the students really get involved in their programs. Some students commented "This is hard!", and I reminded them that it was just a new challenge. I was so proud of every student that participated, because none of them gave up. Some even became little experts and helped their classmates when they were unable to figure out a problem. Every student that participated received a certificate. I am looking forward to hosting this event again next year! |
