Dancing Robots

Our story for the week is My Robot so the students used the Easy Studio App to create shape robots and make them dance.

My Robot: Art and Writing

After reading our Harcourt story for the week, My Robot, we created robots with paper and brads. The students then drew their robot on a piece of scratch board to create the robot prints.

Here is my sample:

This is the robot I drew and then printed on scratch board.

 

Here are the student  samples. They are so adorable!

They named their robot and then wrote about the things that he/she likes and can do, in the style of the story we read. We used the art print of the robot for our book cover.

These prints were used for our first grade art display.

 

This is our published book display in the hall.

 

 

 

Recycled Robots

This is a remote control robot with an umbrella.

This is roller girl with a purse and necklace.

This rocket robot is complete with jet pack and propeller.

Our Harcourt story for the week was My Robot by Eve Bunting. My coworker made these with her class and I thought they we're such a great collaborative, fun way to use recycled material. The only rules were that they had to work together in their groups and it had to stand up. We both agreed that the conversations between the students in their groups we're absolutely amazing.. about how to balance the robot, what pieces they needed to add to make it do a certain thing, etc. We worked on them for about 45 minutes. My coworker and I helped hot glue the pieces together.

We drew robots and wrote about what they can do:

We made pattern block robots, counted the shapes we used and then wrote about them.
