My Project

These resources will help to create kits that can be used across all subjects. Legos are not only a tool used for creative play and art projects. They can be utilized by elementary teachers to provide students with tangible representations of mathematical processes. They can be used to allow students to problem solve and troubleshoot while engaged in the design process. The artistic and cross-curricular possibilities are endless when Legos fall in the lap of a creative, well-trained and motivated educator. I'm looking forward to increasing the access students in our building have to authentic learning opportunities.
