2nd Grade – Digital Citizenship: We learned about the internet and how it works.
Lesson – Coded a fish hook game.  Students designed a game where one sprite had to get past other sprites without touching them.  If the racing sprite was caught the game stopped.  The students used many of the coding skills they have learned this year.

3rd Grade – Digital Citizenship: We learned about the internet and how it works. We learned about modems, routers and packages. We also discovered how emails are sent over the internet.

4th Grade – Digital Citizenship: Learned about creators rights and responsibilities.  We learned what copyright, fair use and different types of license are and how to use them correctly.

Lesson – Coded Virtual Museum programs in CS First.  Students had to research 3-5 events in US history and create an interactive program highlighting their events.

The students started doing research finding articles and studies for an essay they will be writing in their classes about who is responsible for their education.
Lesson – Students worked on finding sources for their  essay and also coded a short program in CS First called 10 Square.
