My Project

As an educator dedicated to nurturing the unique learning needs of my students, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact that hands-on activities have on their academic growth and personal development. In our special education science classroom, we strive to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive.

LEGO kits offer our students an alternate avenue to explore their creativity and problem-solving skills.

As well as enhance their understanding of scientific concepts and encourage critical thinking and experimentation, preparing them for future academic and career pursuits.

Using LEGOS and other building materials, students will learn about tectonic plates, space, animal adaptations and more. By providing our special education science classroom with these essential resources, we can empower our students to unlock their full potential and cultivate a lifelong love for learning!
