Today, we hosted our first Pup Tales session of the year! Our morning centered around if/then coding as we read a book about coding, used our bodies to follow codes, and practiced counting.

We were excited to welcome Ms. Douglas, our Instructional Technology Coach, who brought indi—our favorite robot car! Children explored what happened when indi traveled over different colored tiles and discovered which action each color prompted her to perform.

We love seeing even our youngest learners engage in STEM and coding! Thank you to Women United Pickens County for supporting our Pup Tales program!
