My Project

My students this year love to build things. They love to engage in building and create awesome structures with some of our blocks. My random bag of Lego Duplo set is a hot commodity in our classroom, but there aren’t enough blocks for our students to share.

These blocks are not only used to create mazes and objects for our robots but with my special education students having the larger sized blocks are easier for them to use.

Never under estimate the power of Lego! My upper elementary students have enjoyed creating with the Duplos.
