Students are learning to solve problems, use authentic experiences, language, math and writing to develop their stories. Coding is called the "new type of literacy."
Kindergartens at LTPS are soon going to be using Bee Bot Robotics. Bee Bot teaches sequencing, estimation, making choices, and problem-solving. We cannot wait to start developing our coding skills with Bee Bot robots to differentiate our student learning.
