Robotic at Birchwood Elementary
My grade 5 students and I entered the world of robotics in Frebruary. It was an amazing experience. Sophie introduced how to use the kits and she was a wonderful resource throughout our time with the robots. The students were 100% engaged. They worked co-operatively in small groups, they patiently problem solved when they encountered constructing or programming difficulties. They were excited and proud when they completed a mission or a challenge.
The last day everyone was sad when they took their robots apart. Having the robotic kits in grade 5 was certainly a highlight of the year - thank you Sophie!
My students are now fundraising to earn money towards the purchase of a kit. This is an idea that came from the students.
Sincerely,
Cathy Roberts
