Hour of Code at McCoy Elementary
On December 12, 2018, Kindergartners at McCoy Elementary observed Hour of Code by doing an unplugged activity from Code.org in the library. This activity is called “Move It, Move It.” In this activity, students are exposed to the concepts of a program, a programmer, and a programming language.
The students in Ms. Callahan’s class took turns being the programmer and the walking machine. In order for the “walking machine” to reach the square with the happy face, two things have to happen. The programmer must communicate the program correctly to the machine and the machine must follow the program correctly. The programming language consisted of arm signals.
This year, Ms. Eaton, the librarian has planned a mixture of unplugged and online activities for Kindergarten and First Grade to experience Hour of Code.
