My Project

For my students to meet high academic expectations, they must have all of the materials and resources needed for them to successfully reach their goals. My students are very inquisitive and creative and love to learn new things. During indoor recess, I put out LEGOs and my students are so creative that they build beautiful designs and create buildings out of blocks.

When my classroom students earn rewards they love to build with LEGOs.

They are so creative and I want to encourage that creativity that they will use in the future. With the Build It books they will learn how to make things with LEGO bricks to help with their creativity.

In my STEM elective, they will have the materials and skills that will help them with jobs in the future such as architecture. There are so many fun challenges that they get to do and with the LEGO bricks you help supply us with, we can do even more!
