Below are the learning objectives and goals for the students in the lessons currently being taught and completed in class. Learning targets are concrete goals written in student-friendly language that clearly describe what students will learn and be able to do by the end of a class, unit, project, or even a course. This page will be updated to reflect the learning processes the students will view in class.
Kindergarten: Students will be able to identify and name basic shapes (circle, square, triangle, and rectangle) by viewing images and completing a short interactive activity in Google Canvas.
1st Grade: Students will identify and correctly place their fingers on the home row keys (A, S, D, F, J, K, L, ;) and type simple letter patterns using proper finger placement with at least 80% accuracy.
2nd Grade: Students will be able to create a simple algorithm using directional commands to guide a character to collect items, demonstrating how sequences of steps in a program control a computer’s actions.
3rd Grade: Students will be able to explain how Ozobots read and respond to color codes. Also, they will create and test color-coded programs to control robot movement.
4th Grade: Students will be able to create and test a simple program using Pyxel coding robot dogs to make the robot move, turn, or perform an action, demonstrating an understanding of basic coding concepts such as sequencing and debugging.
5th Grade: These students are learning about the practical uses of drone flight. Within the class, they have the opportunity to program and code a drone to fly. We discuss how coding drones to perform specific actions is beneficial.
