We're using the Bee-Bots alongside our coding mats to bring stories like The Very Hungry Caterpillar to life. Students program the Bee-Bots to move across the mats, mimicking the caterpillar's journey as it explores different foods and eventually transforms into a butterfly. This activity reinforces sequencing, problem-solving, and directionality while connecting technology to literacy in a meaningful way.\r\n\r\nWhat excites students the most about the Bee-Bots is the hands-on, interactive nature of the activity. They love watching their code come to life as the Bee-Bots follow the paths they've programmed. The immediate feedback encourages them to test, refine, and improve their commands, fostering a growth mindset. The integration of a beloved story like The Very Hungry Caterpillar makes the learning experience even more enjoyable and memorable for them. This combination of coding, storytelling, and collaboration has been a wonderful way to ignite their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning!","fullyFundedDate":1734020595021,"projectUrl":"project/beebot-coding-robots/8940058/","projectTitle":"Beebot Coding Robots","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Reeser","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7155941_orig.jpg?crop=575,576,x0,y46&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1583361350483","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7155941"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_26606","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":425,"numTeachers":30,"percentFrplEligible":82,"percentAsian":8,"percentBlack":5,"percentWhite":37,"percentIndigenous":1,"percentLatinx":41,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 6","studentTeacherRatio":"14.2:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":75.9,"schoolId":26606,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Fox Meadow Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Fox Meadow Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/illinois/elgin-school-district-u-46/fox-meadow-elementary-school/26606"}
