The Students will stay on the carpet for directions 

LEARNING GOAL: 

Learning Sequence

At the Carpet:

1. Have students sit in front of Smartboard.

2. Review the definition of coding. 

3. Review the 3 areas of coding: Playspace/ToolBox/ Workspace

4. Review Commands and Repeat Loops

5. This week use "Kodable" as the example code. Go over the puzzles 1-5 as a whole group.

At the Computers:

1. Have students buddy up to differentiate skill levels. (techpro/techpal). Have students work with their buddies to solve the coding puzzles.

2. For those students who still need small group instruction, they can stay at the board with me as I continue working on the puzzles, allowing students to go to individual computers as they are ready.

3. If student masters the codes they can go to Angry Birds or Minecraft!
