Description

Coding in the app Scratch Jr is a lot of fun. But young students quickly get distracted by choosing and creating sprites and backgrounds. After downloading this resource you will receive print and digital planning sheets for early elementary students to plan their code before they get to work in the app.

👉🏼 To download the materials be sure to click the link and then click the download arrow in the upper right hand corner. This will save the files to your computer.

👉🏼 This resource includes links to digital resources. Click the link to get your own copies. 

👉🏼 Read more about coding with PreK students here!

👉🏼 Let’s stay connected! Be sure to sign up for my newsletter where I share tips, tools, & tricks to increase engagement without increasing your prep time!
