Intermediate LEGO Club - Where Master Builders Begin:
Help me give my students the opportunity to use their ingenuity and imagination to build and learn amazing concepts while manipulating and reading about LEGOs.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Archer's classroom raised $245
This project is fully funded
My Students
We have a calming room for students with challenging behaviors. Students are ages 8-10. They often need something or someone to help them understand baffling situations. We have used arts and crafts, coloring sheets, pillows, lights, building blocks and LEGOs.
Our endeavor is to find interesting, innovative and technological sound activities to enhance our student' academic experiences.
We have an after school program that helps our school support these types of activities. The LEGO club we have in place is for grades 6th-8th. I would like to start an after school club for grades 3-5.
My Project
When my project is completely funded and when the materials arrive our Intermediate LEGO Club will be able to supply future engineers, teachers, construction workers, and builders with a basic knowledge of physics.
While interacting with LEGO's, I often ask the students what kind of careers they will have when they grown up.
The above paragraph is an example of my students aspirations. I usually get better answers during "Calm Down Time" then during Reading or Social Science (LOL).
Right now we only have one maybe two sets of LEGO's pieces. Often the students have to transition to other classes before they have finished their LEGO creations. I sometimes have allowed them to save a special piece for a day or so, but there are others that would like to use the materials. We share but it is difficult because of their ages and abilities. I just would really like to have enough LEGO kits to allow a student to take the project home for a day instead of a picture. Taking pictures with my phone has ended many confrontations.
I have attached the materials I thought would give us a start. However, I know there are people out there that have finished LEGO sets and are willing to part with them. One brave student said "I wish I had legos at home." My photo is just one of the creations a student built with my grandchildren old pieces. The picture is of an airplane transporter!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
