The students enjoyed the story and LOVED the STEM activities. We ended the week having the students use their Roz Robot to create a short movie summarizing the story. The activities were highly engaging and truly supported the story." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I enjoyed reading "The Wild Robot" with my students, and my students loved being able to do STEM activities that matched up with what Roz went through during the book. My kiddos connected with the book on a whole new level because they were able to simulate the same experiences to gain a better understanding of the characters in the books." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "These stem activities were so engaging to my students. They completed them as we read through the novel together online. They loved building their robots and creating different camouflage options. These activities helped my students engage with the novel and understand it to a greater extent. I'm so glad that I had this resource to use with my students."
