My Project

The students in today's classroom are much different than they were 20 years ago. There minds are constantly thinking about technology and when they can create something great. LEGOS give students the opportunity to think outside the box and get creative. I love giving my students' a task with Legos and watching them work towards a goal. In 5th grade we have the opportunity to work with Robotics in January and the students love it. I think adding this activity to the everyday classroom will only enhance their skills. I think having STEM activities like this in the classroom create different opportunities for students that will help them in today's world!
