Nonfiction Fun!
Students in all grades are gearing up for nonfiction reports.
Fifth grade students have various research papers due. They have been learning about plagiarism and how to cite their sources. This is a very challenging topic. However, students have been very patient hard workers.
Fourth graders have been creating a report about a California Landmark/Place to visit. They have used Google Slides to create their presentations. Reports will be presented beginning next week.
The students in both second and third grade have been looking at nonfiction text features. They are discovering how to quickly find information and to be efficient when using these nonfiction tools.
The first grade students are also learning about nonfiction text. They are discovering the parts of a nonfiction book.
Transitional Kindergarteners are learning about animals as we read animal books, practice animal yoga, and create animal pictures.
Everyone is working hard at this time.

Computer Science Week
This is Computer Science Week. I have signed up many of our classes to participate in an hour of code on Code.org. Students in Fifth grade have already begun to use this process of coding and are excited about using critical thinking skills and logic in a fun and interactive way. This week more students in grades 2 through 5 will continue to have this opportunity.
Coding is the way our digital world operates. Almost any technological program uses coding to provide instructions for our computers. Students at Eastin are getting a head start working on this to prepare for future careers that most certainly will involve some sort of coding. Code.org works with very simple Blockly coding which allows younger students to practice thinking like a computer. This is an exciting lesson for all students. I am looking forward to a great week of coding!
