Computer Science

Our 5th Grade Computer Science curriculum is based on the Computer Science Discoveries curriculum from Code.org and the Computer Science Teachers’ Association of America Standards.

Throughout the marking period, students will work through three units:

• Unit 1:  Functions, Sprites and Behaviors
• Unit 2:  Loops, Variables and For Loops
• Unit 3:  What is? (investigates the different technological devices and services used on a daily basis). 

Our 8th Grade CompSci curriculum is based on both the Computer Science Discoveries curriculum from Code.org and the Computer Science Teachers’ Association of America Standards.

Over the course of the marking period students will work through four units:  Web Development Unit, Software Development Unit, App Development Unit and Game Development Unit.  They will investigate different problem-solving techniques and discuss societal impacts of computing and the internet.  This course is designed to align with our high school computer science curriculum which continues through to college level AP courses.
