Builds a lot of foundational skills in students

Such a fun app for coding!
My opinion is that this is a great teaching tool for young students learning how to code. I really liked Scratch Jr. for the coding app as well. It better serves my students and my teaching because they have to practice perseverance and a growth mindset to continue to build their codes and change them if they make mistakes.

I really like scratch. It's free and it is a great way for students to create stories, games and animations. It has a variety of features and that is something I love the most about scratch!
