Binary Bracelets!

Because we are locked out of the computers during the weeks that the PARCC is administered, we are doing "Unplugged Activities" from http://www.CODE.ORG . In 5th and kindergarten, we learned about binary code and made binary bracelets using beads that stand for the first letter of our first names. 

This is a picture of the 5th graders and their binary bracelets. 

I truly thought it might be over the heads for the kindergarteners, but a good amount of them deciphered a message I put on the board using a binary code to say "Tech is cool!"
