Bee Bots and Working and Learning Together

We've spent two weeks exploring programming with Bee Bots. Groups are working on a variety of challenges to move their Bot. 

First we used arrow cards with directions to decide how to program the Bot to travel in a square.

Then we made our own maze and drew out our program.

We are fortunate to have Dartmouth students join us!

This Bot had to stay on the taped track to maneuver over a crack in the floor before it made it to the finish line!

This week we worked together in literacy groups to retell Native American legends of the Plains Indians as they were retold by Tomie DePaola. We charted story elements and used a Venn diagram to compare the main character.

In math we used a "foot" to measure items in our classroom as a "kick off " to a new unit on measurement. 

It's great to see how well we work and share with each other!
