Elementary Coding Initiative: Grade 2

Elementary Coding Initiative: Grade 2

 

This year Sayville Public Schools introduced Computational Thinking and Coding to the Sayville Elementary schools.  The integration of computer science at the elementary level will allow students to have an early introduction to problem solving, practice with mathematical concepts

 

Second Grade Students will begin their journey into the world of technology education to invent, create, make and develop great ideas. Students will meet with Mr. Caskey, work out of the computer lab and apply computational thinking to challenging/fun activities.

 

We will be using the websites below to learn more about computational thinking and coding.  Please click on the Logos below to navigate to these sites.

 

Software Programming and Coding Glossary for Kids

Coding Glossary

Programming skills are incredibly useful, especially if you start learning them while you're young. Knowing how to code opens doors to new careers, helps you think in logical ways, and increases your knowledge of the world around you. Choosing to learn to code is a greatway to improve yourself and have fun while doing it. Getting started, however, can be hard. Not only do you have to find the right lessons, games, or activities, but the words people use to talk about coding all seem like a bunch of jargon at first. But once you've got a handle on all of these words and what they mean, learning to make software can be a piece of cake.
