Scratch Jr. 유치원부터 3학년까지 코딩 입문

Get ready for a laughter-filled adventure in our introductory lesson! In this super fun class, budding coders get to choreograph a hilariously silly dance for none other than Scratch Cat, using the awesome power of motion blocks.

We'll kick things off with a guided tour of the ScratchJr interface, and then the real magic begins. Students will dive into the world of coding by experimenting with not one, not two, but eight different motion blocks and two trigger blocks. It's a wild exploration of creative possibilities and a chance to let your imagination run wild!

The goal of this lesson? To introduce our young coding superstars to the joy of creating algorithmic sequences in ScratchJr. So, put on your dancing shoes and get ready for a coding party where fun meets learning in the most exciting way! Let the silly dance extravaganza commence! 🚀💃🕺

The majority of teachers offer coding classes to ages 8 and above. I feel coding can be taught to younger learners with patience, encouragement, and engagement. This is one of the very few classes designed for grades K-3. 

My style of teaching is very interactive and engaging. Each student will be able to share and express themselves as they feel comfortable. 
This is an introductory class exposing young learners to Scratch Jr. 

💻ScratchJr utilizes block programming to allow children to create their own imaginative stories and games. It is a free app available on iPads, Android tablets, and Chromebooks. More FAQs are available here: https://www.scratchjr.org/about/faq

TEACHER POLICY
My style of teaching is very patient, and engaging and I provide a safe place for all my students to be themselves. I will do my best to ensure they meet their goals and feel confident with their skills. I will repeat myself several times and demonstrate what we are working on before a student does it themselves.

To be fair to ALL students, any student who arrives at class WITHOUT the software installed OR is more than 5 minutes late will be asked to watch the class and not code during class time. The class recording will be available to follow along and code outside of class time. If a student is struggling outside of class time with a project, I am available to help them if you send me a message with details of what is happening. It is my goal that you have the best overall experience possible. This policy is in place to ensure that for ALL students in class.

At this age, students are excited to share about themselves, lost teeth, family visiting, or new pets. I will manage class time to the best of my abilities, but I will NOT dampen a student's enthusiasm for sharing with peers. I will allow them to share briefly, which may lead to other students sharing as well. I will do my best to keep students on track, but each class group is unique and may run over by 5-15 minutes depending on the skills of the student, level of engagement, social sharing, and technical difficulties. I choose to lead my classes in a manner that elevates the child and builds their skills in coding, logical thinking, and social activities.
