   This course will teach the basics of Scratch and Block Based Coding.   The goal is to give each student the tools to create, problem solve, and expand their projects outside of class. I give each student the skills to expand on each project according to their imagination, creativity, and problem solving ability.
   My class is structured in a show, try, and then do format. I show your child a skill or concept using slides or direct modeling. They try to repeat the skill through following my action. Then they do for themselves in expanding the project. I provide a scaffolding style of assistance that ends with independent creation. 
    I teach with patience, nurturing, and flexibility.  I believe in gentle correction and constant contact. I will ask to see student work throughout the lesson to determine progress. I strive for all learners to observe each other and be inspired by their ideas.
