Note from Patrick (our student teacher):
1) Here is another robot-themed game that provides a VERY good and basic introduction to some basic programming concepts.
Students will be using loops extensively, so this gives a good visual guide to the basics.
Remember - don't think 'I can't do this!!!!!' think, 'I need to try again!' or 'I don't get it yet!'
Patrick suggested that You can try Manufactoria too - http://pleasingfungus.com/Manufactoria/
Learning Intention
What did you learn today?
We had an opportunity to work with a grade 2/3 class to help improve their descriptive writing skills.
How did you show what you learned?
The teacher drew a monster picture and the grade 2/3 class had to write about the picture using descriptive words and phrases. Our class read the descriptive paragraph and drew our versions of their robot. We were all very close to the actual drawing.
What do you need to learn next?
We are going to send them a paragraph about our robot tomorrow morning.
