Introducing DJ Retro, performing his debut live at Smithella!! This guy has been rocking some GarageBand in his free time, so we thought it was time to drop that bass.

This guy is teaching me about rugby. Things like throwing techniques, how plays are run, positions, and his responsibilities on the pitch. Pretty awesome! What does this have to do with CompSci? Absolutely nothing. #relationships

Oh nothing, just importing 797 photos of our WBS families’ summer adventures. These pictures will welcome students and play on our media TV for the first few weeks of school.

2nd graders exploring modules and the Workshop in Tynker. Playing around in the tutorials and adding changes. What’s a pixel? What does next costume mean? How do I change the colors?

We’ve met this friend before. He’s playing around command prompts, a text based interface to execute commands. He found some funny ones. Reminds me of when I was in 5th grade with a TRS-80 and Commodore64. Where did you learn it? YouTube, of course.

Third grade using Code.org to brush up on programming and sequencing. The big difference between this year and last is that students must turn left and right instead of just follow arrows. CSforALL

Kindergarten using Tynker jr. to enter in the world of block coding. Listen to the excitement as they put together characters for their Ocean Odyssey.

When half the class is at orchestra, we change things up a bit. Kids followed their passions, did fall escape games in pairs, created 3-D designs, or participated in a ‘winner stays on’ Connect Four tournament.

Photo Dump. Look at the Lego wall and you’ll see that this little friend turned 2-D Legos into 3-D! A working Minecraft rocket with sticky pistons and redstone. Aaand I wore the same shirt as my boss so there’s that.

Just doing some BattleBots while rocking out to #styx. This small group helps me plan for a full scale activity. Probably in centers where they will switch games. #westbroadstreetelementary
