1st Grade

Computer science prepares all learners to be active and informed contributors to our ever evolving technical world. Computer science can be life-changing. While coding, our students are engaged in learning that is relevant to their lives, we feed into their curiosity, and support them in critical thinking skills, and creativity.

During our time together, the teacher's role is not one of being the source of knowledge, but rather the leader in seeking knowledge. As for our students, they will explore concepts and build their understandings through various physical and online activities. Off of the computer, our learners will collaborate and communicate during games, discussions, and creative tasks. When programming on computers, students are encouraged to share ideas or work collaboratively as pair programmers. The goal is to develop a common foundation upon which all learners can understand computer science concepts, regardless of prior experience.
