My students would love to have access to Lego bricks to use as an across-curriculum tool for learning. We plan on utilizing the Lego bricks, wheels and gears, and mini figures in a variety of ways and subjects. I want to plan engaging lessons that will motivate the second graders to be inquisitive and allow for them to be creative. Legos will be used to reinforce math skills, motivation for creative writing, building cars and simple machines (science), STEM activities, and coding. The Legos will be used in whole class activities as well as in a center for self created project based learning. Students will be able to use the Legos for story telling and writing which is an area where they struggle. Students will use the Legos to explore force, motion, and the use of simple machines. We will also have Legos in our Maker's Space where students can complete building tasks or develop their own project. Building with Legos will also encourage collaboration and conversation skills.
