My Project

My students have been admitted to a pediatric hospital for a variety of illnesses, disorders, and treatment needs. They range in age from three to thirteen and come from a diverse range of schools, backgrounds, and even countries. Despite going through the challenges of hospitalization, my inspiring students are eager to continue learning.

These LEGO sets will provide a hands-on, engaging way for students to stay motivated while in the hospital, offering both educational value and emotional support.

They will be incorporated into various units, encouraging creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. As rewards, they will give students a sense of accomplishment and an outlet for self-expression. Whether building structures related to their studies or simply enjoying the process, LEGO sets will help keep students focused, inspired, and connected to their learning journey during their hospital stay.

It is a gift to be able to foster positive and normalizing experiences during an otherwise difficult time, and your generosity is so appreciated!
