Have students come up to your desk and choose the book they desire and you click it into the list.
The books will be checked out under the teacher's name.
I will have a printed list of all the books that you have chosen
The first time you will be given your books of choice in your bin.
Then after that….
When you return to the library for your next class you will bring the bin assigned to you back to return the old books and I will fill it with new books you have chosen.

Grades K-5

It's relevant.

Th curriculum was created with the 2017 Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) standards in mind, but also includes opportunities to support national Math, English Language Arts, and Science standards. In fact, a recent research study found that classrooms with resourceful teachers see higher scores on English, math, and science standardized tests after teaching these lessons. Click here to see how CS Fundamentals lessons support standards.

Supported Standards

Courses

The right course for our Students!!!!!!

For students new to computer science, each course begins with a grade-appropriate entry point and structured ramp-up of concepts. The progression of Courses A-F builds upon each other to ensure continuing students stay interested and learn new things. This allows you to use the same course at any grade level for all students, regardless of their experience. If you’re looking for a more comprehensive course, the Express Course combines the best of Courses A-F into a single condensed course (with a simpler option for pre-readers). Explore the lesson plans and download the 2019 version of the curriculum guide for Courses A-F here.
