Mrs. Reindl went into Ms. Anderson's science classes on Friday to show the students Binary Code. Students then worked on solving some binary code. At the end of her week long lesson - she talked to the students about a cybersecurity path or computer science path to think about. She also shared websites to students for certifications.

Since the playgrounds are still snow covered, students and staff at North decided a walk would be great on this beautiful winter day! Students have not been able to get outside for recess since before Christmas Break. Everyone enjoyed the sunshine and exercise!

Mrs. Reindl went into Ms. Anderson's science classes on Wednesday and Thursday. She taught the students about the Enigma machine and how complex the coding on the Enigma machine was.
