Create characters with Move! by Steve Jenkins using Kibo Robots. (Kindergarten / 1st Grade)
Students read Move! with their teacher. The teacher facilitates a discussion to chart animals from the story and their movements. Then, students choose an animal, make a sketch on 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper, and program Kibo robots to move like their animals.
