On Friday, South K/1 students visited the 4th grade and participated in several different activities. The activity that was enjoyed the most was playing with the Bee Bots. The 4th graders made mats earlier in the week that had the k/1 students practicing their sight words and addition facts. K/1 students learned how to program the Bee Bots to make them move to the correct spot on the mat. Everyone had fun and thought the Bee Bots were the coolest thing ever!
