Transitional-Kindergarten Grade Talking Points
- "Robots are machines that can do tasks or jobs for us."
- "We can describe robots using words like big, small, fast, or slow."
- "When we talk about a robot, we use the word 'a' or 'an' before it. It helps us know which robot we are talking about."
- "Sometimes, we use the word 'the' before a robot to show that we are talking about a specific robot."
- "When we have more than one robot, we use the word 'robots' instead of 'robot'."
- "Grammar rules help us speak and write clearly so that others can understand us better."
