Preschoolers in Mrs. Meade's class listened to Do You See a Shape? by Donna Herweck Rice. Then, they had the Ozobots follow different shape patterns and watched the lights change colors. I also showed them how to make the robots go faster and slower.
I had promised AK students last week that they could use robots, since we read Boy + Bot last week but ran out of time to play. So we got out the Code-a-pillars this week and had so much fun! I love watching kids' reactions to robots for the first time. I wish I could have gotten them all on camera, but I did catch this one! Needless to say, we had a great time!
Kindergarten students played with the Code-a-pillars again this week after listening to When Edgar Met Cecil by Kevin Luthardt. Next week we'll move on to Ozobots or Blue Bots.
Two first grade classes and Mr. Schneider's second graders (they were the only 1/2 grade kids who had library) listened to Gingerbread Man Loose in the School by Laura Murray. Then, they either used Blue Bots to guide the robot through the story or they used Ozobots dressed up like gingerbread men and drew a story map with main events for the robot to drive through.
Third graders started with Ozobots, learning what codes were represented by different color combinations. Next week, we'll start a puzzle where kids have to fill in missing codes to get the robot to where he goes.
Fourth grade worked on their bibliography slides during library. We cited CultureGrams, our online information resource, as well as the books they've been using during art class to make the posters that accompany their research. Our states museum is coming up soon!
