Mrs. Reindl went into the 5-8th grade classrooms and taught a coding lesson for Hour of Code last week. 5th grade did rodocodo, 6th grade coded a rotating Earth with texture, 7th grade coded moving WordArt, some classes coded the Tickle Monster using hand recognition, and 8th grade coded a chat box, connected it to ChatGPT, named the chat box, and interacted with the chat box. Because the Jr. High registered for Hour of Code, we did a drawing and gave prizes out! Anyone in the school who coded with Mrs. Reindl, had their name put into the drawing. The t-shirt winners were: Aubree Durbin - 5th grade, Baileigh Donaldson - 6th Grade, Olivia Gray and Jaina Rathgeber - 7th Grade, Kaden Presnell and Kiera Neeley - 8th Grade. The winners of the starbucks gift cards were: Braylon Smithson - 6th Grade, William Nolen - 7th Grade, and Christena Bright - 8th Grade. #HourOfCode @codeorg
