Goal

The kindergarten, pre-k and special needs students in grades K through 3 will be provided the opportunity to learn basic coding skills, team work, communication and critical thinking skills while utilizing a Code-A-Pillar robot in technology class and in their classroom. 

 

What will be done with my students

The students will be introduced to Code-A-Pillar through the book The Very Hungry Catepillar by Eric Carle, during technology class. The students will be shown how to create codes with the Code-A-Pillar and be provided with a path their code-a-pillar must follow. Students will work in teams to develop their communication and team working skills. After students have developed an understanding of coding, the Code-A-Pillar will be placed in the student's classroom for further coding practice with their classroom teacher. 

 

Benefits to my students

Students will understand the concept of sequence when creating a code, this can be correlated to the sequence of events in a story. Students will be developing their communication, team working, and critical thinking skills. 

 

Budget Narrative

Currently we have 6 kindergarten classrooms at Manatee, 1 Pre-K and 2 special need classrooms. Each classroom will be provided with a Code-A-Pillar after instruction is provided in technology class.
