SCRATCH

Soooo.. My little 3 year old is learning how to program! Following in daddy's footsteps. Scratch is an awesome tool - drag and drop programming perfect for kids. He is learning about angles, directions, degrees, variables and having fun not even realizing all of the math he is soaking up! This is truly whole-part -whole learning at its best..very exciting!!! Keep it up MIT - you are creating amazing things!

That would be fine. In my class I have a couple of children who find writing difficult so I can pair them up. When are you back? We start tuesday. If you want to send me a list of your pupils names and your address we can write first but it will be next week before we will be able to write. Let me know.

- Lori, I would like to do a project with you. When you say penpal do you mean proper letters? I know the children love getting letters and would love to give them that opportunity. I have 29 children in my class this year.
