Day 96 - Robots

One of our Kindergarten classes is discovering the wonders of robots. They spend their days exploring, experimenting, questioning, creating and reading about robots. They've also started working with the primary Lego robotic kit, WeDo. These pictures are examples of their robot creations. As you can tell from their paint and crayon illustrations, their teacher has taught them a lot about background and filling in a page. As I was taking this pictures I overheard them discussing what makes a good picture. They really seem to know their stuff.
Some of my students will be visiting the class to share what they've been learning about robots. They'll also demonstrate some programming.

Day 321 - Young ingenuity

Worked with our PreK once again this morning. It's great to watch the kids work together. There are honestly times that I can't tell who's having more fun, the little ones or big ones. Today, one group was designing robots. One pair of young creative minds came up with the idea of putting folded paper under the cap so it would give when pushed, just like a real one. I figured I had to capture their thinking in photo.
