Building New Things Every Day

Help me give my students Lego duplo blocks to extend their creative building experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Lopez-Gill's classroom raised $335

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students enjoy playing with duplo Lego blocks daily. They take their time building short towers and bridges for the people figurines we have. By adding the doctor building, we want it to spark our students' creativity about building other community structures and settings for the figures. Also by adding dinosaurs set, a fire truck set, and a treehouse Lego set , the students will be able to brainstorm a variety of settings to explore with the figurines like the pirate and gardener. By adding additional duplo sets, the students will be able to connect their ideas about engineering structures to house multiple animals and figures in addition to the singular structures they work on.
