This year we are celebrating Halloween with our 1st graders in a diferent way: participating in the “Code Week 2020” with the activity: “Halloween pixel by pixel”. This activity combines “pixel art”, mathematics, English and computational thinking.

Enjoy with our first video.

This activities will bring computational thinking closer to our young students, helping them to solve problems, recognize patterns and be creative and happy. Soon we’ll watch our video “Pixel Art” with tablets…
