Garza’s ACE Read & Code Club

Members of the “Read & Code Club” had the joyous opportunity to visit the Barnes & Noble Bookstore right before the winter break. This was a great opportunity for students to spend some time surrounded by books and other book lovers. They were given a tour of the establishment, enjoyed a read aloud, and relaxed in time of reading and shopping. Members of the “ACE Read & Code Club” meet twice a week after school to read stories together, talk about books they’ve read & loved, and to be the first to see what’s up and new in the world of books. In addition to reading, our club members also engage in Coding lessons & tutorial-based games to help them learn how to perform block-based programming. All of our club meetings are a stress-free time to participate in activities that promotes the development of lifelong readers & an opportunity to experience the world of computer science.  “Reading is fun & coding helps me think like a game developer,” is what Ximena shared about her time in the club. That’s exactly our goal!
