Coding the Continents

The students in Ms. Parrish’s 2nd grade class at Montrose were provided with a template that has the map of the world and two sprites, one to show the continents and one to show the oceans. They logged into their Scratch accounts and remixed the template. In today’s lesson, the students programmed the alligator to move to the different continents and say where they were located. As a follow up, students can program the diver to move to the five different oceans.

Take a look at this great student sample!
