K
ELACCKW2
Uses a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic.
MCCKG1
Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describes the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.
MCCKCC3
Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20.
SKC3a

1st Grade
ELACC1W2
Write informative/explanatory texts in which they name a topic, supply some facts about the topic, and provide some sense of closure.
ELACC1SLt5

MCC1G1
Distinguish between defining attributes versus non-defining attributes, build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.
MCC1MD4
Organize, represent, and interpret data with up to three categories; ask and answer questions about the total number of data points, how many in each category, and how many more or less are in one category than in another.
S1CS2
Students will have computation and estimation skills necessary for analyzing data and following scientific explanations.
S1CS3
Students will use tools and instruments for observing, measuring, and manipulating objects in scientific activities.
S1CS5
Students will communicate scientific ideas and activities clearly.
































5. Procedures
1) Continuing to build their robots.
- Each child will begin building his or her robot by considering their planning sheet. The teacher will 
  need to help the children understand the limited numbers of Cubelets available for each child, and this 
  will require modifications in his/her plan.


2) Construct the settings
The teacher may well encourage the children to construct necessary settings (places, people, things) for 
  their robots.
