First graders will spend second quarter programming! It seems impossible, but they really can do it. Parents, please do not allow your child to work ahead from home. It is important for instruction, time management, and sharing that all students be working together with me as a group each week.

But if a student wants to work on more coding during the week, here are some sites that are good.
Tynker--if you use just the hour of code lessons, they are free and do not require an account.
Grok--The lessons for Space (Blockly) are similar to what we a re doing in class, but a bit more difficult. They may require adult help.
Scratch--one of the first programming sites for kids. It uses the drag and drop concept from Tynker, but it also has more advanced programming options. Really good if your child really loves Tynker.
For iPads only:
Hopscotch--Hopscotch looks a lot like Scratch and Tynker and uses similar controls to drag blocks into a workspace, but it only runs on the iPad.
Daisy the Dinosaur--Daisy targets the youngest coders. The interface is similar to Hopscotch but much simpler. This is an excellent introduction to programming.
Cargo-Bot--This app uses a different interface altogether. On each level, the objective is to move colored crates from one place to another by programming a claw crane to move left or right, and drop or pick up.
