There are so many words that start with the letter R. But for me and my class, robots were the most fun R word to focus on for our letter R week. We created a different robot every day. We made balancing robots the first day. The preschoolers had such a great time trying to balance their robots on anything and everything. The trick to this balancing experiment is the two pennies that are stuck to the back of the robot's hands.
We read "The Robot Book" one day and learned that out of all the robots parts and gadgets, it is what's inside that makes him tick; his heart.
The preschoolers also used their brilliant imaginations to invent their very own robot. They got to design it and decide what kinds of things it would do.
Our culminating activity for robot week, was to build our own robots out of tin cans. I manned the hot glue gun while each student created their very own robot design using all sorts of materials. We even used metal washers and nuts. I think they turned out as cute as can be!
Robot week was Really Rad!
