I am a special education teacher. I have the amazing benefit of working with students of multiple abilities from throughout the entire school. My students are amazing and capable of doing anything.
My students are very eager to learn new and challenging things that may give them opportunities that would not have been possible before by activating their bodies and minds to solve problems.
Active bodies make for active brains. We need to keep our bodies active so that we can keep our minds engaged in our learning.
We are a low income school. We are located just outside of a joint military base. We serve a high number of students who have parents in the military. The social and emotional skills that are developed as well as the teamwork will benefit them greatly in the future.
My Project
My students are all very unique individuals who bring many skills to the table. With so many different skill sets in my classroom I would like to be able to create collaborative movies with the Lego City pieces. These movies would allow each child in my room to shine and share their skills with the group.
How better to work on your social skills and create amazing Lego City movies then through teamwork.
Working as a group and sharing your ideas and skills is the ultimate goal of this project.
The Lego City models will also benefit the younger students in the classroom next door. They will be able to learn about community helpers and who they can turn to if they need help. My students will be able to create movies and give demonstrations to their younger peers about things that are relevant to their schooling.
Using Legos as a medium to practice social skills, work on much needed communication skills for later jobs and working together as a team. These are all valuable life skills that you will help foster in my students when you help me fund this project.
