Preschoolers partnered with Ms. Higgins third graders for a pie tasting. The students tried a bite of different pies and voted for their favorite. The third graders collected this data and made graphs to represent the results. As you can tell by their smiles, they had a great time working in teams.

We are excited to announce that Rochester Memorial School will be participating in the Hour of Code again this year. The Hour of Code is a global event designed to introduce students to the world of computer science and programming. This event will take place from December 9th to 13th during library class.

By participating in the Hour of Code, our students will have the opportunity to:

• Develop critical thinking skills by learning how to solve problems step by step.

• Build creativity through interactive coding activities that allow them to create their own digital projects.

• Gain confidence in using technology in a meaningful way.

• Discover new interests and potentially spark a lifelong passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math).

The Hour of Code is not just an hour of learning to code—it's an opportunity to spark curiosity, build skills, and inspire creativity. Whether a student is completely new to coding or has some experience, the Hour of Code is a chance for them to engage in the exciting world of computer science and discover the endless possibilities it offers.

families must register with the Early Childhood Office prior to the date and will be assigned a 30 minute time slot.
