First Graders can code too!

With the Hour of Code week approaching, teachers have been reaching out to me to introduce their students to the basics of coding. I worked with Ms. Munro’s first grade class and introduced them to the website code.org.
There are interactive activities for students as young as preschool. The children do not have to know how to read to navigate the tutorials. I worked with Ms. Munro’s students and walked them through part one of the Pre-Reader Express tutorial. A lot of drag and drop and ordering activities were involved in the tutorial to introduce the students to basic skills needed to be successful coders.
Next week, I will work with Ms. Munro’s class again to complete the second part of the Pre-Reader Express tutorial.
