Weekly Lessons

Here are some lessons I used for my K-5 Faith & Technology Class before I retired. Kids LOVED the stories of real life faith filled super heroes that they could aspire to be like. I tried to make the scriptures come to life for them by using technology (videos, virtual reality, augmented reality, quick response, PowerPoint) and their imagination. Jesus, Our Blessed Mother & the Saints are more exciting than anything Hollywood or video game designers could ever create.

Week of December 3, 2018 K-5 will do Hour of Code Programming

During all computer classes Dec 3-5, 2018 all K-5 students at St. Louis School joined millions of students in ~200 countries by coding (programming) in their computer technology class. We will all go to https://code.org/ on the Internet. Every student will began with simple block language puzzles and if they want they advanced past the puzzles. All K-5 students had the option to code in every class for the rest of the year. The next Bill Gates might have been one of my students. I treated all my students believing they could be the one. ;) If your child likes coding encourage your child to program at home using https://code.org Programming is one of the top career opportunities now & will continue to be well into the future.
