This week our youngest friends (kdg. and first graders) are reviewing the programming concepts of algorithms (steps to finish a task) and debugging (finding and fixing mistakes) while rotating through four stations. Actually, they participate in two stations this week and will engage in the remaining stations during their next lesson. I was the recipient of a community mini-grant earlier in the academic year. Subsequently, I used the funds to purchase "unplugged" resources to complement my computer programming instruction. Several of the resources featured in these stations were added to our resources thanks to grant money. The four stations waiting for students are: Code & Go Robot Mouse, ROBOT Turtles, Littlecodr, and Makey Makey. Ask your student to tell you which stations he/she completed this week and describe what he/she did at each station. Aside from learning, there are a lot of smiling faces and laughter in our library!
