Yesterday morning was pretty status quo until I checked my email and instantly my interest was peeked. I received the email below from Khan Academy's creator, Sal. I immediately thought of you guys, my students! Coding is a skill that kids your age need to learn, and dare I say want to learn? I figure what better way to learn coding than at class with friends you can ask questions to and learn alongside? Starting today we will embark on the Hour of Code. Who knows, you may love it and be hooked, or you may hate it and never want to try again. It's my job as your teacher to expose you to new challenges and help you figure out what you are passionate about.
You can find more information and tools for coding on a new page I created. Go to "Information for Students" at the top of our home page. From there, go to the scroll down "Investigate Menu". Slide your little cursor over to "You Can Code", and you're there. (You can also click this link if you are lazy!)

Good luck with your Hour of Code. I hope some of you will learn to enjoy coding. Some of my 5th graders started learning to code last year and love it. We are running the Hour of Code at our school in Hanoi as well.
