My Project
Help support my amazing special education classes by providing LEGO Architecture Kits, featuring iconic skylines such as Paris, London, Singapore, and New York and LEGO building kits including exciting vehicles. These hands-on kits will allow students to explore engineering concepts while following blueprints and improving their tactile and fine motor skills. For students with autism and special needs, building with LEGO enhances focus, encourages problem-solving, and strengthens their ability to follow step-by-step instructions in a fun and engaging way. Your contribution will help me create an inclusive, creative learning environment for all!
My students are sixth grade students ranging in age from ten to twelve with a range of disabilities including Attention Deficit Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorder.
They love building things, we have built water filters, Egg Drop Protection devices, and will be building bridges and dam's in the future. My students love Legos and I would love to give them another creative outlet to build!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
