[CASL-L] Hour of Code - grades 3-6

[Elaine Shapiro]

Thank you Jane, for your inspiration.
I am in a preK -4 school.  Last year I spent one day doing code with
students, using the angry bird maze, puppy adventure, and lightbot.  I did
the Happy Maps lesson with K.
This year, all week, in library classes, students have a choice of several
code games, after I give a very brief intro to coding. It went really well
today.  The students were very happily engaged!

Anyone is welcome to use the links on these 2 web pages from my website:
