My Project

I am public librarian at a K-5 elementary and I am always looking for ways to make the library a fun, safe, inviting, happy, and creative place. These floor seats, LEGOS, building blocks and other resources would help me get that up and running. I appreciate any help or funds donated.

I plan to use these materials during stations where student can rotate and learn how to build and off set time that is spent on technology.

I know that the students will enjoy having the chance to use their creativity to foster engagement, conversation, and memories.
