My Project

My striving readers are incredibly hard workers! They climb their own personal learning mountain each and every day. I became a certified facilitator for Brick Club to offer my students the opportunity to showcase their creativity as they develop a variety of SEL skills. We need Legos to support the formation of our Brick Clubs along with storage to help keep them organized!

Striving readers, especially those with Dyslexia and/or ADHD, need a different approach to learning!

Brick Clubs offer a motivating experience that celebrates existing strengths and develops new ones. I want my students to feel as special and celebrated as they truly are. These Brick Clubs will create a safe space for skill development in a way that engages and motivates all learners.
