I'm so excited about the enrichment blocks we've started. Twice a week I'll get a small group of kids, selected by their teachers as kids who could use a little academic enrichment, and we will do fun things. The program will vary as the year goes on. Right now my 4th/5th group is working on Scratch programs and my 2nd/3rd group is learning the fundamentals of programming. On day one we started with a series of "unplugged" activities that demonstrate programming without a computer. The kids loved it! At the end I have them a challenge to write a dance "program" on paper that we can all do at the next class. I can't wait to see if any of them do it!
