Help me give my students Legos to create various things by building to then solve problems pertaining to math as well as writing creative stories, and talking with peers!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Phelan's classroom raised $365
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students come from a variety of cultures, low-income families, and hard-working, middle-class families, which therefore results in plenty of hardships for them daily. This being said though, they are incredibly resilient. They are dedicated students with wonderful attitudes, despite their disadvantages. The struggles they overcome are more than many adults can handle, but they do so with a smile on their faces.
This project will allow students to tap into their creative side by constructing and cultivating opportunities for conversation with Legos!
I believe that fostering an engaging and hands-on environment makes students more successful in the long run. The opportunities for using Legos are endless! We can utilize them in so many different subject areas!
I am excited and hopeful that this project will come to life with your support and generosity! Thank you so much in advance!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
