What educators are saying

Fantastic resource! I love the book, and to be able to add unplugged coding to reinforce the story was amazing! My students loved this!
We read Thank You Sarah as a Thanksgiving activity and tied it together with the President coding activity from these plans. It was a great introduction to our online coding unit as well!
