All School, All Book Inventory

A reminder from our Library/Media Tech, Laura: During the week of DEC 10-14 (maybe the next week also Dec.17-21) I will start doing an inventory of the school. This means I will not be able to check out Chromebooks in the morning and I will have to close the library closed during A-Lunch and B-Lunch
In order to make this inventory an easy task, I'm asking if you could please help me out by having all your books on the counter, bar-code facing up. 
The books that are included are Science, Social Studies/Social Science, History, any Springboard Writers workshops/Gram

Hour Of Code
The Hour of Code is "a one-hour introduction to computer science, designed to demystify "code" and show that anyone can learn the basics to be a maker, a creator, an innovator."  Coding is the process of writing a program to make the computer do something. Everything that is done on a computer, like websites, games,  applications, word processing, videos, and photos, has been coded to do its specific feature.  The process of coding may seem daunting, but learning the basics can be quite easy.  
Every year we participate in Hour of Code during Computer Science Week - December 3-7. This short video explains a variety of ways to get your students involved in Hour of Code. 
 Get started on your first coding project here! This years new tutorial is to Code your own Dance Party! Check it out here!
If your classroom is participating in Hour of Code, please use this form to let the district know what activities your school is participating in during Hour of Code and remember to share your pictures on Twitter with #codeFSUSD!
