Hello Parents!
Thank you for enrolling your child in our Amazing Animals Robotics program at Kelley. They are proving to be fantastic robotics engineers!
Our current semester is set to end after just two more classes Dec 3. However, I have been able to secure our staff, equipment, and permission from the school to extend our program for an additional two weeks. These would be on Wednesdays Dec 10th and Dec 17th.
The classes would be held at the same time and locations. The teacher (Mrs. Jennifer Lee) and the equipment will remain the same. And the lesson plans will remain the same, except that your child will gain experience with building and coding two additional animal robots, depending on where they are at in the curriculum.
If you would like your child to join us for these two additional classes, we would certainly love to have them! Please click on the link at the bottom in order to complete the registration for them.
Registration for these two classes will close on next Friday, Nov 21st.
Thank you, again, for your consideration. I am available at any time for your questions or clarifications.
Sincerely,
Paras.

Course Description
Lions and Tigers and Bears... Oh my!
In Amazing Animals Robotics students create their own robotic animals. Build them; code them; then make them RRROOOAARR!!! Students have fun and learn about engineering, coding, circuits, and sensors as they build Dinosaurs, Dolphins, Preying Mantises, and more.
Each week, Students build a different animal robot. Students learn about the animal and habitat and then use LEGO bricks, gears, and pulleys to build it. They add electrical motors, circuits, and sensors and apply their Math skills as they learn Engineering concepts. Finally, they Code their robots to make them move and react to its environment autonomously. Students learn how to apply their grade level skills in arithmetic, ratios, as well as introductory concepts in force, motion, and simple machines.
Your child is sure to have a wild time as they build, learn, and play!
