Library 4th grade-Mrs. Reed Assignments

This week you will log back into Code.org, and go on to lesson 2. Lesson 2 is on sequencing. This is an important computer science concept, and it is a lot like the sequencing you've talked about in your reading class. Sequencing in computer science is the specific order in which instructions are performed. Computers need instructions that are in the correct order in order for a program to work. The lesson is using the game or program Angry Birds to teach you sequencing. If you need help getting started, watch my Loom video, and make sure you watch the videos and read the instructions at the top of the page. I had a lot of fun with this lesson and I hope you do too! When you finish the lesson please mark it as turned in on Google Classrooms and I can check your progress on Code.org.

You will be learning about coding and computer science concepts using Code.org. Go to https://code.org/ ( the link is below) where you will sign in with your Google account.
