Third Grade CoTeaching
Third graders collaborated to meet multiple Lego challenges this week. We investigated how we could collaborate creatively while completing specific tasks. For example they used 14 random legos to create a tree. Then they used those same 14 legos to create an animal with only their non dominant hands. Lastly, students were challenged to collaboratively create an object that would move without using any words! It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop! After groups identified key pillars in collaborating creatively with their partner, they tackled various Lego WeDo programming tasks. All student built and programmed a Science Rover with a motion and tilt sensor, and then they chose if they would like to build and program a race car or investigate force and motion by creating and programming a pulling creature.
