My Students

"Knowledge is the one thing no one can take away from us." I love the look on their face when they find a great fact book about something they love or can't put a book down because they are drawn to it.

I have 28 amazing students who choose to read when they are done with their work.

My school is a Title I school in the heart of Arizona. That means a lot of the families work hard to get their child through school, let alone provide books at home for them to read.

My Project

I would like to integrate Legos into my classroom and afterschool is the way to get them engaged in their education.

My school needs money for Lego kits for 1st to 2nd graders afterschool Lego Club.

Not only only would these be used afterschool, but I would like to use it in my everyday classroom to teach math problem solving and in retelling stories using Legos. How fun would learning be?

 Legos help to promote hands on learning to beginners in simple machines. They would use strategies to problem solve, create, follow directions, make changes, Use STEM strategies, and investigate types of simple machines.

This is the foundations to problem solving in Lego League. Then in March of 2018, they would go to a Lego competition. In the competition they are given an everyday problem and have to problem solve using Legos. This kits give them the foundations of levers, pulleys, and simple machines. Then they apply it to their project and compete against other Lego Clubs. They present their project to judges.
