We were so excited to do some coding and programming with the Bee Bots. Students worked in pairs to create a path for their Bee Bot to move from one point to another. Once the code was established, the Bee Bots were programmed to follow the path. It was great to see the kids working so well together to make decisions and solve problems. After a few successes, teams were given a challenge. Obstacles were placed on the grid, making it necessary to create an alternative path.
We are looking forward to new challenges with the Bee Bots over the next several weeks.
The leprechauns were up to no good in room 3. We came back from recess to find a mess in our classroom AND this tiny little door...
As we were cleaning up the mess, we noticed this...
Well, needless to say, we took that as challenge. The kids got to work planning a trap. We decided that we would need to trick the leprechaun into believing that we had some real gold in our classroom. We used all of our big yellow Legos for that. We propped up a box with a BIG rock duct-taped to the back. The kids made arrows with notes to lead the leprechaun straight to the trap. Then we went to music and P.E.
Well, it worked like a charm! When we got back from P.E., the box was knocked down and look what we found underneath...
Golden-wrapped CANDY! We counted them out and found there were enough for everyone to have TWO!!
I wonder if we'll ever see our yellow Legos again....
