Class Experience

Beginner Level
Lesson is aimed for students reading to learn Scratch. Lessons will be taught slower to help students understand the basics of coding with Scratch.  Students should be able to read commands and follow along with teacher.  

Please note: It helps to have some coding experience.  Students new to coding or Scratch may need adult support in the beginning.    

Students will create a new project each week.  

Topics learned:  
- code one or more sprites
- change the look and size of a sprite
- use one or more backdrops
- create your own sprite and/or backdrop
- add speech bubbles to sprite
- add/record sound 
- use repeat/forever/if - then controls
- hide and show sprites
- use simple variables 
- use operators 
- code with pen tool 

Please join class on time.  It is also beneficial to join class using a different device in order to see teacher's screen.  I recommend a PC or laptop for coding.

Hello! My name is Cynthia Burleigh. I live in Texas. I graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington with a Bachelor in Science in Information Systems. I started my career in a banking institute, but quickly realized I wanted to become a teacher. I have been working in education for 15 years, 3 years teaching with Outschool. I am Bilingual Certified - speak English and Spanish and teach Bilingual and ESL students. My teaching experience includes: Robotics, Codings, Spanish, Pre K - 3rd grade Bilingual instruction, Bilingual Reading Specialist, and STEM teacher. 

I love to teach Reading, Math, Spanish, Technology and STEM (including robotics). I love spending time with family, teaching, and running. A little fun fact about me...I run marathons for fun! I can't wait to see you in class.
