My Project
This project is responding to a request by students to have more hands on and collaborative activities that they can spend time with that help with social and emotional wellness as well as bring students into the classroom and away from phone screens. Students have requested the books and LEGO sets for their creativity in a safe and supported environment. The world history theme and literary mindedness for the books and materials will help students want to come to school and be more interactive, which is a great trade from the sullen faces they often have looking at their phone screens.
More than half of students from low‑income households
