Review Editor-Only Instructions in the SF Module. Create/Update content to meet the needs of your students. This module is intended for the teacher to model, instruct and guide the students through the module and allow for self-paced work when appropriate.
Determine the method of Brainstorming that you plan to use. A LucidsparkLinks to an external site. is provided and intended to be used for teacher use. Make a copy of the and embed your personal copy into the SF Module.
When instructing students, make sure you select Make Me a Facilitator when teaching as well as selecting the check box to make sure that show Authors is turned ON.

Ask students to think about some of the messages that they would like to give to their teacher? What type of messages do you think Bee-Bot might want to deliver?
Provide students with sentence frames on an anchor chart post class discussion.
Allow a few minutes for discussion and sharing.
Tell students that over the next few weeks they will be working to create an algorithm to send a message to a teacher using the Bee-Bot robot and the Bee-Bot emulator.
Learning Target:
Students will be introduced to the Cornerstone Task.
Ask students to think about the teachers they saw in the video. Can they think of any teachers in their school that they would like to send a message to? Project the Dear Teacher Brainstorm Lucid SparkLinks to an external site. on the board, ask students to name 6 teachers in their school that they could send a message to. List those teachers on Lucid.
As a class decide on one teacher to send a message to.
Record student choice for reminders.
Tell students that we are going to use a Bee-Bot Mask (Costume) to create our message for our teacher. We want it to be fun and colorful. Students may self-select their message for that teacher or use one of the brainstormed examples.
For students who need to copy a message, whiteboards or sticky notes should be used for assistance.
Collect completed Bee-Bot masks from students and assess using the SBIR Rubric as M, P, or L.
Store the completed masks for Day 2 of the Cornerstone.
Learning Target:
Students will select one teacher and create a Bee-Bot Mask with a message for that teacher.
Included in Student Facing Module:
Cornerstone Task - Bee-Bot Mask Paper Submission
For Day 2 and Day 3 of the Cornerstone Task there are two options for Bee-Bot mats. Select whether the Alphabet or School Mat will best meet the needs of your students. Then select the accordion for full lesson plans using that mat.
Create groups of students to work together using the Bee-Bot and Mat. Groups will range in size depending on the number of Bee-Bots that are available. Consider consulting with Classroom Teachers and Special Educators to assist in making groups where students will be successful.
Consider creating job roles for groups when working with the Bee-Bot robot.
Consider setting up stations with these materials if space allows in your classroom. Provide each group with the following:
Alphabet Mat - Created using Bee-Bot Mat Alphabet IconsLinks to an external site. or other similar cards. The math should match the Alphabet Mat in the Bee-Bot emulator. There are multiple teacher icons available to use depending on the teacher students selected.
Demonstrate and reinforce for students how to use the Bee-Bot Direction Cards on the Printable Bee-Bot Planning Mat to create their algorithm.
Students should lay out the algorithm on the planning mat first before inputting anything into the Bee-Bot.
Remind students of sequence words such as FIRST, NEXT, THEN, LAST.
The algorithm should move Bee-Bot to the Teacher on the mat.
Once students have created their algorithm on their planning mat, have them work together to input the algorithm into the Bee-Bot robot and test. Students should take turns so that all Bee-Bot masks have a chance to run the algorithm.
Circulate and assist as needed.
Review with students strategies for debugging their algorithm if they were not successful.
Ensure that students recall what "debugging: means.
Allow time for students to debug their algorithm so that they can successfully deliver the message to the teacher on the Alphabet Mat.
Circulate and assist as needed.
Encourage early finishers to see if they can deliver the message, PAUSE, and return to the ABC Bee-Bot Home image.
Learning Target:
Students will plan a route for Bee-Bot to deliver a message to the teacher
Students will create an algorithm for Bee-Bot to deliver that message to the teacher.
Collect completed Planning Bee-Bot's Route to My Teacher Mat 1 from students or groups and assess using the SBIR Rubric as M, P, or L. Store for Day 3.
Assess students using the Observational Tool Checklist while circulating throughout the lesson.
Learning Target:
Students will successfully deliver a message using Bee-Bot to the teacher.

Review with students that last week they created an algorithm for Bee-Bot robot to deliver a message to a teacher.
Ask a few students to share a success that they had coding the Bee-Bot.
I was able to.../It worked when I...
Ask a few students to share a challenge that they had coding the Bee-Bot.
It was hard for me when.../It was challenging when...
Tell students that today they are going to deliver the same message but this time using an algorithm in the Bee-Bot emulator online.
Learning Target:
Students will be able to share challenges and successes using the Bee-Bot Robot to deliver a message to the teacher.
