My Project
Build it and they will come! This project is all about teaching my students how to build and the process for building the best structure possible. My students will sometimes skip steps or want a short cut to a solution. We will use the blocks and magnets to problem solve and explore ways to build a solution. These items will aid in their development of skills that reach far beyond simply creating a solid structure. It will give them problem solving skills that will help them better manage their emotions and find ways to get things done in a positive way.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
