My Project

Learning is the most meaningful when students are engaged and enjoying it! My students are creative, talented, and full of innovative ideas. I know they will love having these LEGO materials in our class as a STEM activity. We will use the LEGOS to build, play, share ideas, and collaborate with peers. LEGOS are a wonderful resource as they challenge students to plan, create, and problem solve. The majority of my students are English learners so we can also use our builds to engage in meaningful conversations regarding number talk, patterns, strategies, noticings/wonderings, etc.
