Building a Classroom Community, One Brick At A Time

Help me give my students the opportunity to have a constructive, meaningful LEGO area in the classroom. This space will be designed for those who need to refocus, calm down, or just take a break.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Beam's classroom raised $489

This project is fully funded

My Project

The items I am asking for will be added to the classroom LEGO brick area. The students will have the opportunity to work on free-building something for the classroom town or construct something with instructions. These buildings will be an amazing touch to what the students will create. This area was designed for those who need a time-out during their day so they don't become overwhelmed with the changes of being in jr high.

Every student needs a special place to go to when the day gets overwhelming or they need a brain break.

Giving the students the opportunity to build with LEGO bricks will give them a productive activity that allows them to focus on their build, calm down, and be grounded.
