My Project

Finding ways to keep Kindergarten students engaged is not easy. I will use these Bee-bots and the docking station in small groups and learning stations to help students learn to code. They will be used to enhance learning across the curriculum including literacy and math. Bee-bots are cute, easy to use, and invite student creativity. Since students will work in groups, they will learn collaboration and teamwork.

I would love to provide my students with fun and engaging ways to practice and review what we have been learning in class.

There are endless ways to use Bee Bots during small group lessons, or in learning stations. Students can code the Bee Bot while practicing letter recognition, number recognition, shapes, addition and subtraction practice. These are just a few examples. The list goes on! Coding with Bee Bots will be engaging and fun for students, and they will be learning at the same time.

Our students need more real world technology use in the classroom to enhance their learning. Bee-Bots will be a great addition to introduce our students to coding.

Your generosity will help our students gain life long coding skills where they will hone in on their problem solving and critical thinking skills as they see the Bee-Bot Robots come to life.

Thank you for your generous contributions. Without your support, engaging projects such as this one would not be possible.
