From Beatriz (grade 4)
Learning about scratch with Lanna was great I reckon it
was magical the way she showed us the snow outside
it was the first time I ever saw snow. I asked a lot of
questions I was very interested in what we were
learning for example……
how long have you been using scratch? she had been
using it for 3 years which means she has a lot of
experience with scratch.
You can’t ask
questions of a
textbook!
