Start small and work your way up. You don't need classes until the
functions start to get unmanageable. That won't happen until you've
thoroughly covered variables and control structures. By the time classes
are necessary, the students should be relieved to have a way to organize
their forest of elaborate functions. Even if they're introduced in an
organic and natural way, like building a Swing application, they're
going to just be one more distraction for people who are struggling with
the syntax of a for loop. They're an intermediate topic, treat them as one.
