• CS Fundamentals, Course A, Lessons 2-6 (Code.org) - these lessons use a step-by-step process to solve problems and focus on sequencing.
• Scratch Jr., Make a Spooky Forest (Scratch Jr.) - Students will use block-based coding to create a story.

• CS Fundamentals, Course B, Lessons 2-5 (Code.org) - these lessons use a step-by-step process to solve problems and focus on sequencing.
• Scratch Jr., Story Project (Scratch Jr.) - Students will use block-based coding to create a story.

• CS Fundamentals, Course C, Lessons 3-7 (Code.org) - these lessons use a step-by-step process to solve problems and focus on sequencing.
• Scratch Jr., Story Project (Scratch Jr.) - Students will use block-based coding to create a story.
• Carnegie Story Maker (Carnegie Library) - This website takes students through a scene-by-scene leading to a larger project where students create and share their own story.

ELA
*With support, retell familiar stories, poems, and nursery rhymes, including key details. (K.RL.2.2) - Students use Seesaw, Flipgrid, or another technology tool to retell a familiar story.

ELA
*Retell stories, fables, and fairy tales in sequence, including key details, and demonstrate an understanding of their central message or lesson. (1.RL.2.2) - Students sort pictures from a story in Google Slides or another technology tool.

ELA
*Recount the beginning, middle, and ending of stories, including fables and folktales from diverse cultures, and determine their central message, lesson, or moral. (2.RL.2.2) - Students use technology such as Google Slides or Flipgrid to recount the beginning, middle, and end of stories.

Computer science concepts are not specifically addressed in Indiana Academic standards prior to the K-2 grade band.

* Understand and use the basic steps in algorithmic problem solving (e.g., problem statement and exploration, examination of sample instances, design, implementation, and testing). (3-5.DI.1)

* Develop a simple understanding of an algorithm (e.g., search, sequence of events, or sorting) using computer-free exercises. (3-5.DI.2)
