Coding week has been a success at South Summit! Students have spent the week doing various coding activities. Silver Summit Elementary students made Binary Bracelets that spelled out their names. #WeAreSouthSummit #HourOfCode #CodingWeek #SilverSummitElem

Coding Week: Follow instructions. Silver Summit Elementary, teacher Ms. Burnham, asked her class what is the first step of making hot chocolate. The class said get hot water. She got the hot water and asked what was next. The class said make hot chocolate. She told them she only had hot water. One student told her to get the hot chocolate. She got the hot chocolate. Students told her to get the hot water. She then asked them what came next? The students said to make hot chocolate. She tried, but she did not have a cup. The students then figured out that they needed to start all over to gather the necessary supplies. They started over by gathering all of the supplies. Cup, spoon, hot chocolate packet, then they boiled water. Then they said to make the hot chocolate, but the next step was actually to open the hot chocolate packet and pour it into the cup. They continued on step by step until they made the hot chocolate. Ms. Burnham said, "It was really fun to listen to the kids' thought process to go all the way back to the start and pay attention to the details. Halfway through they left out some details. Like coding, there are so many steps that cannot be left out." #WeAreSouthSummit #HourOfCode #CodingWeek #SilverSummitElem

We know there are many community-based activities, programs, and services available to our students and their families. We've created a Community Bulletin Board to help the community share that information. We invite the public to upload content for consideration. Please review the guidelines prior to submission. We review content weekly for approval. If the content meets our guidelines, we will post it and share it with our families on Mondays. #WeAreSouthSummit #CommunityBulletinBoard #CommunityPartners
