Bee-Bots

In this unit, students apply the computational skills they practiced in Unit 1 on actual computers - Bee-Bot robots! They playfully express themselves and reinforce language arts standards as they learn to program increasingly complex sequences of simple commands.

Students gain fluency with planning, testing, and debugging programs as they work with familiar characters in The Very Hungry Caterpillar, More-igami, nursery rhymes, and fairy tales. The unit crescendos to a peak when students program Bee-Bots to retell a narrative they wrote in Writing Workshop!

The optimal group size is 4 students or fewer per Bee-Bot.
