Curriculum for STEM/Technology Grades K-6

[NewtoSTEM]

Hello! I was just informed by my administrator that I will be teaching K-6 Technology/STEM next year instead of 5th grade. There is currently no curriculum for this and I feel a little overwhelmed at where to start. I have a lot of freedom as far as what I am going to teach so that is awesome, but I need a little guidance about the Scope and Sequence. There is so much that can be covered....any Tech/STEM teachers out there that could help!? Thank you!!

What technology devices will you have available? Will students come to your room or will you go to theirs?

If you want a ready-made, easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy way to start off the year, check out code.org's curriculums. They have very simple, little prep, ready to go lessons for K-8, if not K-12. Course 1 works really well with K-2, and course 2 would be good for 3-5. Completely free, very interactive and engaging, and fun!

It definitely won't take you through the year, but it will hit nearly all of the Coding skills and give you a 2-3 month start.
