Christmas Gift

Help me give my students a Christmas gift of building and creating with Legos!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lopes's classroom raised $516

My Project

Hello! I am so happy for this project. My whole list is included. This project is like a grocery list for our classroom of needs and wants.

My favorite part and the big item for this project is a Christmas gift for each student, a lego classic, creative building monsters.

I would like to teach the students how to follow the step-by-step instructions to create each of the 5 colorful monsters. Then at home, they can give it a try on their own. This box has 140 pieces and is right at their learning level.

The other items are cleaning supplies, birthday clappers for celebrating them on their special day, and colored copy paper for homework packets.
