Carrollton, VA Grades PreK-2

My Project

My students are special and talented in their own ways. I have comedians, Einsteins, and sports lovers. They need motivation and help to return to an in-school routine, away from electronics, cell phones, and television. They are all special to me. The LEGO bricks and sets will be a great help in many ways in the classroom, especially in problem-solving.

LEGO bricks and sets will help students learn by strengthening their motor skills and developing problem-solving skills.

Students will get into groups of 2 and 3 to build and, at the same time, work as a team.

Students will work on precision and coordination as they put LEGO bricks together and solve and reason with each other. This is great for hands-on activities where they can start to learn about engineering and architecture with LEGO bricks.
