Coding

We're Coding! 

Mrs. Johnson, a curriculum technology partner for our school district, visited us for 3 days in late October and taught us how to code using a program called Scratch.

 

First, we learned what coding is  and how to move a sprite, Scratch the cat.  The next day we learned how to draw a race track and change the Sprite from Scratch the cat to a car.  Some of us really got creative with our designs!

Here is Sheldon's car design: 

Coding is super fun and collaborating is evident:

After we learned to create race tracks, we learned to create other games.  Mrs. Johnson brought her Makey Makey and showed us to use conductors such as a banana and grapes to act as our controllers.  

We keep practicing and getting better and better!
