Happy Holidays everyone!!! May you have a restful and joyous break! 💕
I want to share about coding critters, which I got free courtesy of the NYCDOE CS4ALL and Learning Resources company. They are cute little coding robots that younger elementary school students can use to practice coding in an interactive way. The robots can follow instructions and directions going up, down, left, and right. There is also a storybook included that students can read to put the correct sequence for the coding critter to follow the steps in the story. This is such a great way for struggling readers to practice sequencing and retelling. I love when computer science is implemented into different content areas! 😄👍🎉
Here are the links to buy coding critters or create a Donors Choose project for them (all 3 sets can be bought from Amazon):
Above are 4 pictures from my classroom of my students exploring the coding critters sets.
