Carrie+LaRoche's+Scratch+for+Gold

**﻿ Welcome to Carrie's Scratch for Gold!** The first project that I found is a great introductory lesson about money, and more specifically discussing the differences between needs and wants ~ something that most high school kids confuse as they believe that a cell phone with Internet is a NEED! I think that I can beef this up to use in my Introduction to Business class and with more tweaking maybe use in my Financial and Professional Management class. []

Another project that I found is one about Compounding Interest. I think this project has a good start but needs some updating to it. I can possibly use this in my Financial and Professional Managment class. We're always looking for new ways to introduce compounding interest in a way that students want to pay attention! [] This next one is a link to a Space Shooter Game direction file - this could be very useful in modifying for review games if you wanted to - []

At this point I'm not too sure about how much time I would have to actually teach kids Scratch in one of my classes, so I've been toying with the idea of creating a Scratch Club which could meet during our Activity Period on Fridays. It's a 40 min spot of time where all different clubs meet and we try to get all students involved in something. This site would be very helpful with creating small lessons to use for kids to then explore on their own. []

Here's another neat game that you can modify the questions to and use for reviews or just to see what kids know about a subject you're introducing! []
