My Project

Kindergarten students are always hungry to learn! I love teaching Kindergarten because they are truly excited about every moment they get to learn with me on the carpet and at their seats. While I love planning engaging lessons for students, what I love even more is when students have the opportunity to use their imagination!

Kindergarten students need time to be creative and these Lego bricks are the perfect opportunity for students to get their imaginations up and running!

I would love to give students the chance to build and create using Lego bricks. Two of the sets that I picked out include animals and people so students can play using familiar creatures and people in various careers. The other set includes various bricks so students can make houses, trees, cars, trains or whatever else they can imagine. I am so excited to provide some Lego bricks for students to create and explore!
