  5. Today's Lesson: Code.org Lesson 5: Programming with Harvester
    1. We will begin by using Clever to log into Code.org.
      1. Only Code.org logins done through Clever will show the work that has been assigned.
    2. Students are responsible for EVERY lesson they can see in Course B, though if they are caught up only Lesson 5 will have work to complete.
    3. Today's lesson is split into 15 Levels.
