Fun with Scratch Jr - for Grade 1 This 60-minute interactive session, designed for Grade 1 students of the Kerala State Board, introduces young learners to the basics of Scratch Jr. through an engaging exploration of animals and their sounds. The session combines hands-on learning with technology by encouraging students to create simple animations of animals using Scratch Jr., where each animal "speaks" and makes its respective sound. Students will learn to add sprites, use looks and say blocks, and record sounds within the Scratch Jr. platform. Additionally, they will complete a worksheet to reinforce their understanding of animal recognition and spelling. By the end of the session, students will have developed foundational programming skills while also enhancing their knowledge of animal sounds and spelling, all within a fun, interactive learning environment. This session promotes creativity, collaboration, and technological fluency at an early age.Refer the ppt and worksheet
