Book Tournament

We have been reading many of the books in the Book Tournament to get ready for voting. When we read How to Catch a Unicorn by Adam Wallace we did and activity with Ozobots. The students were challenged to get the unicorn (Ozobot) to the zoo using color coding. Kindergarten used colored lines and 1st grade used color codes to make the Ozobot do tricks.

The next rotation students will be voting in the Book Tournament.
