Programming Sheets for KIBO

Programming Sheets for KIBO If you have a KIBO for your classroom, I have created these sheets to help the kindergarten students with the concept of how to program KIBO. Although some students get the concept right away others struggle with the number of blocks and the order it should go. Just have students place the blocks on the sheet in the order they desire before they scan them. You can also try this with older students. Have them program it on paper first and predict what's going to happen

Additional biographical information

I was an assistant teacher for over 28 years, and over that time I have created a variety of different materials for the different teachers and children I have worked with. Teachers have a lot to do, so I try to make materials that will make their lives easier. Some of the materials I am offering I have created from the ideas of the great teachers I have worked with, while others I came up with as I watched students during lessons or at centers and realized that there might be a different, more engaging, or easier way to work on the same concept. Some of my work you will find in black and white because I find it comes out better when reproducing on the Riso, or regular copy machine.
