6th Grade: Welcome to Scratch!

Dear 6th grade students,

Today was your first taste of Scratch, a programming language for kids from MIT that we will be learning and using for the next four weeks in class.  Your homework assignment for tonight is to download Scratch at home (free!) and show a sibling or parent one of the things you learned how to do today.  If you need to jog your memory, the scratch cards we used in class (and lots more) are available here.  Feel free to experiment with the program at home and see what you can make with it.  The more comfortable you get with what Scratch can do, the more you’ll be able to accomplish when we take on our first big programming project– creating a game or an application with Scratch.

Sincerely, Ms. Hansen
