Assessment
In this class, assessments will primarily consist of personal assessments conducted by the teacher through observation of students during class sessions. These assessments serve to gauge each student's understanding, progress, and engagement with the material covered. Various types of assessments, such as coding exercises, project presentations, and participation in discussions, may be offered periodically to provide a comprehensive evaluation of students' learning. Assessments will typically be conducted in class to ensure real-time feedback and interaction. While participation in assessments is highly encouraged for all students to track their development and receive tailored support, they are not mandatory. However, engaging in assessments offers valuable insights and opportunities for growth, making them a beneficial aspect of the learning experience.

Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5
Beginner - Intermediate Level
****This class is designed for BEGINNER level Scratch coders.****
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU HAVE TAKEN SEMESTER 2. This lesson is covered in my Semester 2 class and your child will be repeating if they have already completed semester 2 with me.

My style of teaching is very patient, interactive, and engaging. Each student will be able to share and express themselves as they feel comfortable. Each lesson will leave them excited to create projects using the coding knowledge they acquired in class. 

This is a ‘Beginners’ game. Let's build a personality quiz based on how the player answers several questions.

Please see below for a list of Scratch skills covered:
-Coordinating the actions of multiple sprites using the ‘broadcast’ and ‘when I receive’ blocks
-Event handling (the ‘when sprite clicked’ block)
-Conditional statements (‘if’ & ‘if-else’ blocks)
-Variables
-Custom blocks (an introduction)
-Lists (an introduction)

Lesson 1: Get the Starter Project. Upload the starter project to your Scratch account.
Objectives:
-Display the title page when the game is first started.
-Two seconds later, display the first question with 4 different options to choose from.
-When an option is selected, display the next question with 4 new options to choose from.

Lesson 2: Program a Winning Condition
Objectives:
-Create a variable to store the total number of points, and set that variable to zero when the game is first started.
-Show the outcome
-Mix up the options

The material in this lesson is licensed through CreateCodeLoad. I ask that you please not publish the game publicly on Scratch. You may take the concepts you learned to publicly share a game you create using your own graphics and code.

I am offering 1 scholarship to each of my classes to disadvantaged students who may need financial assistance. If you, or someone you know, can benefit from this, please pass this on. To apply for the scholarship, message me directly to see if the scholarship spot is still available for a specific class. After approval, you can enroll and I'll give a manual refund.

Learning Goals

Develop programs with sequences and simple loops, to create a game. Identify and fix errors using a systematic process. Using correct terminology, describe steps taken, and choices made during the iterative process of program development.

Great teachers form strong relationships with their students by engaging them in the subjects they are passionate about. I have always been a logical thinker who enjoys science, math, technology, and engineering both for work and play. 

I worked as an engineer for companies like Frito-Lay, Anheuser-Busch, Amgen as a consultant for many years improving their systems with automation and equipment. Once I became a parent, I began teaching extra-curricular classes as a way to have more time at home, but stay involved in subjects that bring me joy. 

Realizing that by being warm, professional, and enthusiastic, I am able to engage students. My creative lessons and strong classroom presence help build student confidence while increasing interest in subjects that may otherwise seem intimidating.
