This super simple, one-time Scratch Jr. class is meant for kindergarten-aged students who are new to Scratch Jr. Scratch Jr. is a visual block coding language meant for pre-readers. Students who learn Scratch Jr. are able to make simple animations and games of their own. Students will learn some of the basic coding blocks with Scratch Jr. to create an interactive and animated poster for their favorite animal. This class will cover: -Adding backgrounds/characters -Editing backgrounds/characters -CREATING their own backgrounds/characters -Using motion blocks -Making characters and objects act when touched -Adding sound to a project that will play in response to an event Through screen sharing, I will demonstrate the techniques to create the "poster." The students will take what they learned to create their own project for their favorite animal.

When it comes to kids' learning, the sky is truly the limit. Too often I think kids are underestimated in just what they can accomplish. Giving children the opportunity to explore their talents and interests is such an important thing! As an educator, I have felt that exploring a child's strengths is the best way to help them succeed in life. Fostering a child's interests into lifelong skills not only helps them succeed but allows them to feel empowered and confident!Reviews
