Description
Bring winter storytelling, coding, and hands-on STEM learning together with the Winter Wonders Bee-Bot Coding & STEM Bundle. This engaging resource is designed to be used alongside a read-aloud of Snowflake Bentley and invites students to explore themes of observation, discovery, and scientific curiosity through interactive robotics and STEM challenges.
📦 What’s Included in This Bundle
✔ Winter Wonders Bee-Bot Coding Mat
A large, winter-themed coding map that transforms your classroom floor or tabletop into an interactive learning space. Students program a Bee-Bot to navigate through scenes that highlight winter observation, science tools, and discovery.
✔ Coding Sentence Cards
Story-inspired, sentence-based prompts that guide students in planning and programming Bee-Bot movements while practicing sequencing, directional language, and problem-solving.
✔ STEM Challenge Activities
Hands-on extensions that encourage students to think like scientists and engineers, including:
- Crystal snowflake engineering challenge
- Observation and pattern discovery activity
- Science journaling and reflection prompts
✔ Teacher Guide
Includes setup directions, learning goals, differentiation ideas, and classroom use suggestions.
🧠 Skills & Concepts Covered
✔ Sequencing and storytelling
✔ Coding fundamentals and robotics
✔ Directional language and spatial reasoning
✔ Problem-solving and debugging
✔ Scientific observation and inquiry
✔ Cross-curricular STEM + literacy integration
🧩 How It Works
Students use a Bee-Bot to navigate the Winter Wonders coding mat by following sentence-based prompts. Each movement represents an idea connected to winter science, observation, and perseverance. As students plan, test, and debug their paths, they build foundational coding skills while making meaningful connections to science and literacy.
This bundle works well for:
- STEM and coding centers
- Winter-themed lessons
- Small-group instruction
- Whole-class modeling
- Enrichment and extension activities
📘 Book Companion Note
This bundle is an original educational resource inspired by themes found in Snowflake Bentley by Jacqueline Briggs Martin. It is designed to be used as a companion to the book, not as a replacement, and does not reproduce any portion of the original text.
🎯 Grade Levels
Kindergarten – Grade 5
