My students have a variety of challenges in the classroom. With the Lego Education WeDo kits, the students will have the materials for hands-on activities that will teach them a variety of skills. The students will learn communication and social skills through working in pairs to complete the projects. They will learn reading skills through reading and following the directions, responding to their tasks in writing. They will learn math and science skills through the lessons of building the objects by following directions and experimenting with the object to determine the effects from the changes. They also learn to solve problems when the robot doesn't work or it is not going together properly. For example, students follow directions to build a race car out of Legos. The race cars are linked to an app on the IPAD, where students create a code to race their cars. Students then race the cars and compare their times. Then, they make changes to their cars, such as changing the size of the front wheels. Once their changes are made, they time the cars again to determine if their change improved the cars. These kits will give my students motivation and pride. This will allow them to be successful, even as they are faced with challenges. These activities will teach my students with special needs to overcome their challenges and persevere.
