BeeBots Community with Mrs. Beacon's Class

Mrs. Beacon created this gigantic community in her classroom with her students. Each student made their own building in the community and spoke about the significance of each building within a community. Students attached a popsicle stick and a ball of clay to their building so they would stand up as a building does. Mme. Schwab came in with some roads and collaboratively mapped out our community as a team. Students had a lesson on how to code Bee Bots to move through the community. Mrs. Beacon's students were buzzing with excitement. They all learned the new concept of coding so quickly. What an engaging community project!
