Lego Lighting up Little Brains

Help me give my students an opportunity to play with Lego kits and games that they would not be able to afford otherwise at our Title 1 school.

My Project

At my Title One School, students are craving the opportunity to be creative with their hands. Lego kits would be available for my students to check out and build at home; and would also be available for them to use, at school, in our classroom. Our classroom theme is also Harry Potter so this will bring those magical texts to life. Being a Title One School comes with challenges into side and outside the classroom, namely the income of my student’s families. Lego kits are not an option for my families to afford and having them available in my classroom will allow them to play with toys and manipulative that other kids are able to do daily, with no financial hardship on their families.

Thank you so much trying to bring magic to the hands of my students.

You have no idea the creativity they have their little bodies of just given the opportunity to explore, build and create.
