Family Chains came home today.  Please enjoy them.

Mr. Kehring, the District Technology Coach, came and explained computer coding to us today.  If your child is interested in being part of the Coding Club they were asked to sign up.  I sent them an email to do this.  The Coding Club will be held during lunch periods once a month.  I also sent your child a link to a coding game site that Mr. Kehring had us try out today.  There are other similar coding gaming sites if your child searches for "Blocky Games".  Blocky is a type of coding language.

Wednesday is a Late Start

Thursday is the Holiday Concert at Menasha High School.  The concert will begin at 6:00.  Students are asked to arrive at 5:45.  The 4th graders are meeting in the Choir Room.  This information went home last week.
