Coding in French Math class - 6
th
grade
La programmation en classe de mathématiques pour les 6ème
Pictured: Oliver and Laudine
New curricular programs in math are currently being implemented. Students will incorporate applications of technology through an introduction to coding. The goal is to learn to create computer programs, and to start learning data encryptions and/or the programming of robots.
The main components of the curriculum allow students to keep on track with our society's evolution in technology and to continue developing necessary 21
st
century skills.
The discovery of algorithms begins with basic instruction of sequences on Probot which code for patterns of movement.
6th graders enjoyed their first coding experience on February 1, 2017 with M. Giot!

Comment les avions volent-ils ?
 One of our Kindergarten parents made a very interesting presentation on how the planes manage to take off and fly. All the kindergarteners had previously studied the air with their teachers, and they had a lot of questions to ask about the weight, length and the making of a plane.
The best parts were when they could touch a A 380 model, and watch a short video showing the comparison between a hair dryer with a plane reactor, or the flight of a goose with a plane.

Tom spoke about his experience thru-hiking the full length of the Pacific Crest Trail. His message focused on the personal takes in took away from the experience: detachment from many emotions (fear, exhilaration, wonder), determination, resilience, and inner peace. He also pointed out the effects of climate change on the trail and what we can do to protect it.
