It's Been Awhile

Our blog has been quiet for awhile but we've been working hard in our classrooms, implementing our lessons that we have found and created.

We met as a team in December and continued adding lesson plans to our repertoire. See here Lesson Plans

In K7 Sarah's class, we read the book, "Hello Ruby, Adventures in Coding" By Linda Liukas. Check out here website here- Hello Ruby This is a great place to start to teach coding, even in Kindergarten! Hello Ruby has a lot of lesson plans to try out. So far in K7 we have tried
Sequence
Decomposition
Pattern Recognition
Map Algorithms

We can't say enough about this book. The important thing students have learned so far is that in coding, it is important to give specific instructions. Everything needs to be in little steps. We've made mistakes but we keep coming back and discussing them because we learn from our mistakes!
