Fifth Grade
Fifth grade has started an
exciting new coding project
that uses real
Python
language. The
program is
called
Codesters. They learn the
basics of programming in
Python and create programs at
the end of each lesson.
Students are understanding
more about syntax and the
importance of language in
computer science.
Third - Fourth Grade
These students have started
a new coding program called
Code Monkey. The
objective is to
get the monkey to
the banana while
encountering
numerous obstacles. Students
are learning CoffeeScript
coding language found in
Code Monkey. It teachers
them principals of coding
language and syntax. They
also learn all the other
things such as functions,
loops and more!
Kindergarten – Second Grade
Student will be learning principals of coding through a fun website
called Code.Org
All students have user accounts that they can log on to from anywhere.
Students will be learning about sequence, code, algorithms, loops and
more.
Coding is a great way for students to learn how
to not only sequence, but also to plan ahead,
think critically, and work collaboratively.
The students will be faced with challenging
problems. It is important that they learn it’s
not “impossible,” and that everything has
solutions. The challenge is finding that
solution!
Typing Challenge
We might not do as much typing in the
lab anymore, BUT the expectation is
that you are using the typing
programs outside! Third-Fifth gradePlease make sure you are signing into
typingweb.com and progressing through
the levels! When you complete the
intermediate level, let Ms. Sora
know! Prizes are given
Upcoming Topics
K-1: Pixie4- Creating story
books and more…
2nd Grade: Students will create
their own coding program similar
to those played in Code.org
