Teaching Kodables to Kindergartners

My wife, Sheryl, is a Kindergarten teacher at Bay Fram School. We have a long association with that school in that our daughter, Stephanie, was in the first Kindergarten class that opened the school. Four years later, our son, Steven, also attended Kindergarten at Bay Farm. So Sheryl is thrilled to be teaching at a school that she’s been a part of since 1993. When Sheryl needed a parent volunteer to teach computer programming, as someone with a degree in computer science, I was immediately conscripted. 🙂

Kodable is a curriculum for students designed to teach them computer programming. Foundational skills are built using lessons intended for grades kindergarten through third. This is built upon in fourth and fifth grades so that the result is that the students understand and know how to program in JavaScript. Here is some JavaScript that I adapted from the Dynamic Drive site and use on the website for my homeowners association.
