The kindergarten classes have been learning how to create algorithms to direct their bee-bots to specific locations on a grid. Last week, the students worked in groups to create an algorithm that will take the bee-bot on a walk to specific places from the book, Rosie's Walk by Pat Hutchins.

Bee-Bots are robots that can be programmed by pressing command buttons. The kindergarten students are learning this new "language" to direct the Bee-Bot on a special grid. As the students translate their ideas into commands, the students are introduced to, and mastering a variety of higher level skills. The students are problem solving, thinking critically, collaborating with their peers, using creativity, programming, sequencing, and developing self-evaluation skills.
