My Project

Here we go again with the crazy ideas! I know, I know. But think about how amazing it would be to have a LEGO wall in your classroom when you were a kid. Now think about how you played with LEGOs. Did you build a house? Did you ever build anything else? I bet you did. Well, my students have a tendency to build houses and stop. It’s amazing, and they learn a lot about shapes, but there is so much more to LEGO than houses. I want to give my students a different perspective by turning some of our wall space into a LEGO wall! The baseplates will be adhered to the wall and then kids will be able to build while standing which increases their creativity and blood flow to the brain. LEGOs are already such a great tool, let’s give them even more utility!
