A Place to Build and Create

Help me give my students a place to store and build with lego bricks.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. South's classroom raised $546

My Students

My kindergarten classroom is made up of 27, five and six year olds. They are a sweet, funny, loving bunch of kindergarteners. They come to school excited to be there and ready to learn. We have a diverse group of students, many are on individual education plans and some are English language learners. Despite their differences, they come together each day pledging themselves as a classroom family.

My students love to learn through discovery and exploration.

They actually shout out in happiness when I announce it’s center time. They see it as their playtime. I know that it’s in these centers, within their play, that they test out new knowledge and solidify their learning.

My Project

In kindergarten, we love using bricks to build and create. Students use lego bricks to make letters and sight words, design math stories, and to complete stem projects. Unfortunately, without a confined space their lego bricks tend to spread out throughout the room.

Have you ever stepped on a lego?

I do it on a daily basis. In their excitement, student projects tend to expand. Sometimes their work gets stepped on and broken. We really need a place to keep it up and all tidy.

Having extra bricks to replace those that are lost or broken will definitely put a smile on my students' faces. Having a space to build and store it all, will definitely make this everyone happier not to mention save us stepping on them.
