My Project

Our Kindergarten and First Grade students need hands-on short activities where they can practice skills such as memory, fine motor, and sharing.

Our goals for this project are to get students working collaboratively in our STEAM lab.

Students will work together in teams to problem-solve and practice language and listening skills by using Lego Six Bricks curriculum. Students will need access to larger Lego Duplo bricks in order to complete the short activities that practice desired soft skills.

Our students come from all over the world, speak dozens of languages, and have unique cultural experiences. We all belong together.
