Scratch Project

Check out the "Rainbow Cat!"  Click on the image to be aken to the Scratch program where you can play the program.  This is our first-grader's first Scratch project.  She is hooked and wants to learn more.  Luckily, her big sister can help her out.  It amazes me what children can do if just given the chance.
