LEGOS for Learning

Help me give my students LEGOs for Learning, and Science Technology and Math

My Project

I teach 6th grade Special Education in the inner city of St. Louis. Every day, my students bring me joy by working hard and arriving. We don't have resources in our classroom to build on the opportunities that many of the kids in the county schools do.

For example, I teach corrective math and allowing my students to have the experience of increasing their spatial awareness and inventiveness is something I would love to be able to do with LEGOS but we don't have the resources to do so.

Many of my students are homeless, in transient housing, or from very low incomes. Building with LEGOS is not something that they are able to do due to the limited income of their families as they don't have the money to afford them. Some of my students have never played with LEGOS. I would love to be able to provide opportunities for them to be creative, increase their spatial awareness, and help them to be able to experience the joy that come through structured play.
