Even in Kindergarten, kids can begin learning basic coding concepts.  The activities below will help students understand these 5 coding concepts:

Algorithms - an instruction given in order to complete a certain task and receive the desired result

Sequences - completing a task in a certain order 

Loops - will repeat until you give instructions for the computer to stop 

Decomposition - breaking down problems into smaller more manageable steps 

Branching -  making a decision depending on what is happening or what has happened 

Be sure to ask your child about Code-a-Pillars, Osmo and Bee Bots after their Hour of Code event at school!
