It's #CSEdWeek! Established by Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, Computer Science Week offers a platform to make sure every student learns to create, not just consume, tech. Ithaca Elementary students celebrated CS Ed Week with an "Hour of Code" by exploring coding! Students immersed themselves in the creative process of more complex coding by breaking down the steps into the fundamentals of programming, using Bee-Bots or their Chromebook to write, program, and "debug" through their projects. All students learned perseverance, which was one of our vocabulary words - because Bulldogs can DO HARD THINGS!
Computer Science Education Week (CS Ed Week) began in 2009 as a nationwide effort to spotlight the importance of computer science. It is celebrated annually during the week of Grace Hopper’s birthday (December 9, 1906). Hopper, a computing pioneer, invented the first compiler and coined the term “bug” after removing a moth from a computer in 1947. In 2013, CS Ed Week introduced the first Hour of Code, engaging millions of students worldwide.

It is celebrated annually during the week of Grace Hopper’s birthday (December 9, 1906). Hopper, a computing pioneer, invented the first compiler and coined the term “bug” after removing a moth from a computer in 1947. In 2013, CS Ed Week introduced the first Hour of Code, engaging millions of students worldwide.










Tis the season to be jolly, and the Bulldogs are never short on spirit! Announcing our district dress up days! All students and staff are encouraged to take part in the festivities leading up to Winter Break. Which day are you most excited for?

Ithaca 5th graders completed 2 Days of Kindness yesterday because of the snow day on Wednesday. The 3rd day of kindness was to smile at everyone you see… It’s contagious! The 4th day of kindness was to make a card for their neighbor or their mail delivery person. Hopefully their wonderful cards make it to their destination!
Have you ever thanked your mail delivery person for delivering your packages and mail through rain, sleet, and snow?
