Mrs. Hippensteel's First Grade

Code.org

We developed Course B with first graders in mind. While the concepts in Course B parallel those in Course A, students learn more sophisticated unplugged activities and work through a greater variety of puzzles. Students will learn the basics of programming, collaboration techniques, investigation and critical thinking skills, persistence in the face of difficulty, and internet safety. At the end of this course, students create games in the Play Lab programming environment.

Lego Spike Essentials Great Adventures Grade 1 and 2

This unit introduces your students to computational thinking. They'll begin to understand what a sequence is, be able to follow instructions to create a sequence and describe the sequence to their peers. They'll learn to break problems into smaller parts, identify cause and effect, and understand simple loops. Finally, they'll explore the process of testing and debugging programs to ensure that their programs work as intended.

Your students find ways of helping the main characters and practice recounting an experience using relevant details. This will help to develop their collaborative conversation skills.
