Hi folks,

LOTS of things are happening here.  We have recently started to learn about our cultural beliefs about bears and will begin to look more closely at the similarities and differences between the body systems of bears and humans.  We recently watched a video called” Bear Witness: A Film by BC’s Coastal First Nations” about Trophy hunting and a community’s efforts to stop useless waste of bears.  If you want to see it again, click here.  Caution!  Make sure you put your scientist hat on first…there are some gruesome parts in this video which may make some people feel queasy or sick or uncomfortable both with what they see, and how they feel about it. 

Today we are going to begin to learn how to code or if you already know some coding skills, you can develop your knowledge. My hope is that you will become coding mentors for the rest of our school and help your peers (especially the little ones), learn how to code.  To begin, go to  Code.Org 

When you get to this site, click on “Try it”, then choose one of the themes that interests you. You will notice, the themes also have a grade level associated with it to help guide your choice. 

When you post a comment today, please tell people the steps to coding that will help others use this site.  Please write it as if you are writing to a teacher or primary student and helping them learn how to code.
