Scratch:Easy Enough for Kindergarten

Today I was working 1 on 1 with Mr. Alvarez who is a kindergarten student at Shimotsu Elementary. We sat down and worked through several of our Scratch cards. Mr. Alvarez's reading level has not fully developed, but he adapted very well to sight words, and color. He had no problem inputting positive and negative numbers either. Although, he may not fully understand the math or terminology, the use of colors and numbers were simple enough for him to work through the cards and start developing his Scratch skills.

How it all started: This is the first year that started a full on after school code club. I was introduced to coding through Hour of Code. Later on, as I attended TCEA in 2016, I saw how coding was something that can help kids grow and enhance their learning. I was amazed as to how many schools started implementing it throughout Texas and we were falling behind as a district, let alone as an elementary. This school year I offered to start a code club without knowing what do or how to start it. I was troubled and puzzled because I was not sure where to start. However, I had already started using Scratch MIT the previous year in my class, so we just natura
