My Project

I work in a Title I school with 25 amazing first graders who absolutely love to build, create and explore. They are energetic and eager to learn!

My hope is give the students opportunities where they can build and create through exploration and inquiry based learning.

There is no lack of eagerness to learn with these bright students, so I’d love to foster their excitement with fun and creative building kits that require them to use their understanding of the world around them along with their amazing imaginations.

Each kit has a unique way of connecting that I believe will engage their thinking and require them to use different logic to make their ideas come to fruition. I know they will have so much fun working together to make their ideas come to life!
