My Project

Please help my students use their imaginations to create their own unique masterpieces using Legos. We are using the Legos to tie in with our math lessons as lessons dealing with teamwork.

With this donation, they will be able to use their imaginations and create a variety of things using Legos.

The Lego set will also help students to build their communication skills and help them to work as a team.

Also, working with Legos will help them use their critical thinking and spatial skills.

Both boys and girls will benefit from this donation of Legos. Thank you in advance for your support.
