Description

Class Experience

This class is for beginners and learners new to coding. Students will learn to do basic coding using the app. Scratch Jr. while trying to help the leprechaun  find the pot of gold. This will be done using a PowerPoint introduction. Then, we will go to the app and break it down by exploring each function. I will break it down into simple steps by modeling it step by step as students follow along and create a slide. After I model each step, students will make their own slide and share it. No...

Students will improve their understanding the basics of coding using Scratch Jr.

I have a master’s degree plus 30. I am certified in elementary education, early childhood education, special education, learning disabilities and Primary Montessori. I have attended Pathfinders month long summer institute for three years where we get specific and direct training on Scratch Jr, Scratch and coding.

The teacher will observe to make sure students are able to perform the coding task for Scratch Jr. by finding the pot of gold.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.

Coding is the new literacy! With ScratchJr, young children (ages 5-7) can program their own interactive stories and games. In the process, they learn to solve problems, design projects, and express themselves creatively on the computer.
