Code

The Code kickoff  is aligned with  the International "Hour of Code" each December. Guided instruction and independent  exploration continues through the end of the school  year. 

Code.org is the basis for our  graded CODE ACCOUNTS:

Coding begins in 1st  grade,  In 1st and 2nd grade: Learn the basics of computer science and internet safety. 

In 3rd grade: Create programs with sequencing, loops, and events. Investigate different problem-solving techniques. 

In 4th grade: Learn new coding concepts including algorithms, nested loops, conditionals, and events. Create your very own game or story that you can share. 

In 5th grade:  Start coding with algorithms, loops, conditionals, and events and then you’ll move on functions. In the second part of this course, design and create a capstone project you can share with your friends and family. 

But, we also dabble with these CODE games in our free time:
