Hour of Code

Computer Science Education Week

December 7 - 13, 2015

To celebrate Computer Science Education Week, Ms. Tulbure and her students participated in the global Hour of Code! This is the second year of participation for Ms. Tulbure's Class.

Thank you, Hadi Partovi for creating this project!

Computer Science week coincides with the birthdays of two computer science pioneers. 

A pioneer is a person who is one of the first to enter a field of study or explore a new area of thought. 

• Ada Lovelace, born in England on December 10, 1815, is considered the world's first computer programmer.

•  Grace Hopper, whose birthday is December 9, 1906, was an American computer programmer and Navy rear admiral. She

  contributed to the development of theCOBOL language and is credited with popularizing the term "computer bug" in the programming community. 

Grace Hopper said: "To me programming is more than an important practical art. It is also a gigantic undertaking in the foundations of knowledge."

For students: 

We will be accessing these Hour of Code Tutorials on our Acers or iPads. 

A hearty thank you, Lisa Highfill for putting these Hour of Code tutorials into a useful hyperdoc! 

Students, you are free to go to these tutorials at home with your parents. Share what you've learned with the class in the comment section! On Monday, started our Hour of Code Tutorials and began to write and create with code.

What are you going to create with code?

What are some coding sites or apps that you like?

Teach us some code in the comment section!

Mrs. Yollis created the idea of Family Blogging Month back on April 1, 2010. This inspired Ms. Tulbure to participate as well. The participation, the quality of the commenting, the interaction and learning that transpired via this classroom blog makes Ms. Tulbure beam with pride.


Not only are her students and their family members becoming superior writers, but they are also honing important digital skills like how to communicate and contribute on line, how to limit personal information on the Internet, and how to develop a dynamic digital footprint. (To hone is a fancy verb that means to improve over time.)

Ms. Tulbure would like to personally thank all the parents and family members for their constant support.Your participation is the key to your child's educational success!
