My Project

Our students deserve to have collaborative and fun learning experiences that foster a variety of skills. A LEGO wall will help to build those skills! While we have most of the LEGO necessary, we need the base plates and construction glue to build it, as well as a couple of additional bricks to really make the activities engaging and help with phonics and phonemic awareness with letter bricks.

Research shows that building with LEGO develops creative and cognitive processes across all ages.

Students who engage with LEGO are more likely to have an easier time with mathematical and geometric concepts, as well as a propensity for engineering. There are also documented benefits for neurodivergent students as well. Our students are also thirsty for collaborative and fun ways to spend their time in the library, and a LEGO wall is exactly what we need!
