Our second graders spend the year focusing on robotics and coding. We research and learn about how robots make work easier and safer for people today. We have fun while learning with Dot and Dash and get our creative grove on while using the fun attachments with Dash. Right now we are mixing our love of Legos, our knowledge of coding, and good old research to learn with Lego WeDo 2.0. Today we built and programmed a satellite. Prior to our build we researched and learned all about satellites so we had a better understanding of what we were building.
I love watching kids create, it is so interesting to see how their brains work. There are kids who just naturally follow directions and complete the build and want to move on with the most basic of programs. There are kids who come up with the most amazing, creative programs and spend a lot of time seeing what is possible with their build. Then there are the kids who start trying to add on something interesting or see if they can drag or launch something. It makes me realize that there are many different types of learners in our classrooms and we need them all!
This pair of gals kept trying new things with their first build-curious and creative!
