    The impact of these new resources on my students' education has been phenomenal. We have integrated LEGO Duplo sets into our curriculum to enhance spatial awareness, fine motor skills, and creative thinking. One memorable project involved building a collaborative cityscape where students designed and constructed buildings, roads, and vehicles using Duplo blocks. This hands-on activity not only sparked their imaginations but also promoted teamwork and problem-solving skills.

    When the coding robots arrived, the excitement in the classroom was palpable. Our students were amazed and eager to experiment with programming commands. Witnessing their faces light up as they programmed the robots to move and complete tasks was truly rewarding. It's incredible to see how engaged they are in learning coding principles through interactive play. This project will further develop their logical thinking, computational skills, and confidence in tackling real-world problems.
