Our class is buzzing with battery sounds, robot voices, and little minds hard at work. Many of our students have shown a great interest in robots and we have decided to explore all their wonderful ideas. Please note: we continue to need: tinfoil, CDs, small boxes (shoe boxes/cereal etc), bottle caps and anything else your child thinks of to create cool robots of our own.
We are using geometric math, art, media, dancing, and literacy to help us learn more and more about ROBOTS!
Two friends decided to draw as many robots as they could onto chart paper and we will later be using addition to add the blue and green robots during a morning circle.



The gear boxes really sparked some great ideas and everyone LOVES creating new robots that move and some that don't. Each robot is unique and all the students love telling us about what their robot is capable of doing. This helps build problem solving skills and oral skills and of course it is super duper fun!
Role playing also became a fun part of our day because being robots is so much fun. We even had students controlling each other with fake remote controls around the classroom.
Books inspire us to create different versions of our robots.
