Buddies and BeeBots

We began meeting with the 5/6 th grade students in Olive Barber's class as soon as school started. After a few weeks of allowing children to get to know each other, we began pairing them up with buddies. The kindergartners met with their buddy for the first time last Friday. As we get to know each other better over the next few weeks we will continue to monitor the developing friendships. We started with the older children reading to their buddies and then playing board games with each other.

We also introduced the children to BeeBots, programmable robots that the children are learning to navigate around the classroom. We set up a challenge of figuring out how to make the BeeBot go around a block. It's harder than it looks!
