3rd & 5th Grade Coding Class

This semester in both 3rd and 5th grade I am teaching a class on coding.  Everyone starts out working through the tutorials at Code.org and students work at their own pace.  The kids really don't need much assistance in this part of the class as the people at Code.org have done an excellent job making the work engaging and understandable,  and the lessons build on one another.  While I expected the 5th grade students to be way out in front of the younger children I have found this to not be the case.  Many of our 3rd graders are keeping pace with the 5th grade class.

Code.org is accessible to everyone - go to the website, sign in, and try your hand at coding right along with the kids.  It's a lot of fun and will give you something to talk with your children about.
