Computer Science is Changing Everything

A person can spit into a cup and the computer can see what kind of illness they have. The computer database will be filled with every single type of virus, and when the cup is put into the machine, within an hour or so, the computer will have found what is wrong with you.

Computer coding can include art and entertainment. When you have a bunch of lights that need to go on and off at certain times, humans can’t time exactly when to flip the switch or push the button, so people code a computer to turn the lights on and off at the right time. Another example of computer coding in art and entertainment are animated movies. They code the computer to do the motion, but the humans draw the actual pictures to create the whole movie.

 

 

Welcome to 4th Grade!

My 4th grade year has begun! I am feeling really good about this year because it’s only been a few weeks and we already made a challenge for reading. Mrs. Volpi is really funny and nice. I know this year is going to be way more challenging than last year. I love Mrs. Volpi as a teacher. This year is going to be super fun. I really want to know my new friends likes and dislikes, as well as my teacher.

My goal for this year is to be the strongest reader I could ever be. I hope I can make more friends and build stronger relationships with my old friends. My second goal is to raise my hand more often and share more of my ideas with my teachers and my classmates, to be less shy and open up a little bit. My last goal is to be stronger at math and lighten up with it.

My Heathcote years are coming to an end so I better make the most of it!
