My Project
I am so proud of my first graders and how far they have come this year!
As we prepare to say our goodbyes and move up to the next grade level, I would love to send them off on summer break with a gift that will keep them thinking, inventing, and building!
This project will give each of my students a Lego building kit to encourage them to keep creating! As students enjoy the summer months at home, this will be way to keep them unplugged and their brains active.
When summer boredom sets in, they can grab their Lego kits and start building! Help me send my kids off for the summer with a fun way to keep their minds sharp!
