Your support has made a tremendous difference in our classroom and in the lives of each young learner. As soon as the LEGO set arrived, I could see their eyes light up with excitement and anticipation. Many students clapped or gasped with joy. Some even jumped up and down in their seats. Their reactions were filled with pure happiness and curiosity. It was a beautiful moment of joy, all thanks to your kindness.\r\n\r\nBeyond the initial excitement, the LEGOs have become a powerful tool for learning. In our classroom, we are working hard to build strong STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) skills. LEGOs are the perfect hands-on resource to support that. As my first graders build towers, bridges, ramps, and imaginative structures, they are developing essential STEM thinking. They are learning to test ideas, revise their designs, work with others, and explain their thinking—skills that will benefit them far beyond our classroom.\r\n\r\nOne of the most important parts of STEM learning is problem-solving. LEGOs give my students opportunities to think critically and creatively. They have to decide what pieces to use, how to build stable structures, and what to do when their designs don't work. These are real-life engineering challenges that they get to tackle in a fun and developmentally appropriate way. I've seen students who usually struggle with focus suddenly become completely engaged for long periods while building with purpose.\r\n\r\nThe collaboration and communication that happen during LEGO activities are just as valuable. Students are constantly sharing ideas, asking questions, and working as a team. They're developing important social-emotional skills like turn-taking, listening to others, and encouraging their peers. For many of my students, this is one of the few times during the day when they feel successful and confident—and that matters deeply.\r\n\r\nWe've used the LEGOs to support math skills as well. Students count pieces, sort by shape and size, measure the height of structures, and compare lengths. It's a wonderful, tactile way to reinforce math vocabulary and number sense. We've also used the LEGOs for writing inspiration—students build something, then write about what they made, helping them connect literacy with real-world experience.\r\n\r\nOne of the most powerful things I've seen since bringing LEGOs into our classroom is how inclusive they are. Every child, no matter their background or ability level, can find success and joy in building. Some of my students who receive special education services or need extra support have shown amazing focus and creativity during LEGO time. They're participating more, engaging more, and feeling proud of their work. It's given them a chance to shine and be leaders in their own way.\r\n\r\nYour donation didn't just bring LEGOs into our classroom—it brought possibilities, engagement, learning, and joy. Thank you for believing in my students and helping me create a space where they can explore, create, and grow. Your generosity has made a lasting impact, and we are so grateful.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt thanks,\r\nBeverly Ball-Jones\r\nFirst Grade Teacher","fullyFundedDate":1703604501078,"projectUrl":"project/legos-to-build-the-mind-all-while-encour/7966593/","projectTitle":"Legos To Build The Mind ALL While Encouraging Young Engineers","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Ball-Jones","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/272x272/tp4578264_272x272.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1507508661010","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4578264"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_49311","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":447,"numTeachers":43,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":94,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":2,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"10.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":61.7,"schoolId":49311,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Tuskegee Airmen Global Academy on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Tuskegee Airmen Global Academy","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/georgia/atlanta-public-schools/connally-elementary-school/49311"}
