• Code and debug computer programs, as follows:
• Set object heading and
motion in programs
• Create user interaction via mouse actions
• Create iteration (loops)
• Sense and respond to a collision between objects
Strategies for: CODING • Solving problems
algorithmically
• Using graphics and audio in a computer program
• Conceptualizing and coding flow and execution in a computer program
• Troubleshooting and debugging programs
• Persevering through challenges that arise in the programming process
• Demonstrating fluidity in performing common programming tasks: creating motion, playing sounds

conceptual development of key concepts (searching, sorting, etc.)
Use of the Foos and Scratch Jr. platforms for: • Whole group instruction
• Demonstration and
discussion of missions and model projects
• Collaborative pairs
• Independent work time with
support from instructors and peers
