Measuring with Dash

We worked on units of measurement with Dash today. We realized it would take more lines of code to move the Dash forward 100cm if the units forward were smaller.

Check out our book of the month for April.
https://www.smore.com/hf78e-book-of-the-month
In 2013, the Texas Legislature passed House Bill 5 (HB 5), which made significant changes to curriculum and graduation requirements, as well as, the assessment program and accountability system. In addition to the new graduation requirements, HB 5 also includes a requirement for school districts to conduct a community or parent engagement survey and report results to the Texas Education Agency (TEA). The information collected in this survey will help us highlight areas of excellence, as well as recognize areas of growth as we strive to Build Excellent Schools Together.

The survey link included in this message may be used multiple times in the instance that you have students on different campuses and will be active from April 7-28, 2017. Once you click on the link, you may select if you would like to complete the survey in English or Spanish.


I want to thank you for your participation in this survey and your continued support of Cannon Elementary: A GCISD STEM School and GCISD!!
