My Project

In my classroom, curiosity is key. My students are young innovators, problem solvers, and creators. They are eager learners who come from diverse backgrounds and often face challenges, but they bring incredible enthusiasm to every lesson. With a focus on STREAM education, we aim to nurture their love for science, technology, reading, engineering, art, and mathematics through hands-on, creative projects.

To foster deeper learning and engagement, I am requesting LEGO Education sets for our STREAM classroom.

These sets will allow students to use their imagination and critical thinking to solve problems in ways that are meaningful and fun. By building structures, vehicles, and machines, students will explore engineering concepts, enhance their understanding of mathematics, and develop teamwork and collaboration skills.

Using LEGO in STREAM will encourage students to experiment and explore while enhancing their learning in a variety of subjects, especially math and engineering. These hands-on activities will reinforce the concepts we're learning in class, from fractions to physics. Additionally, LEGO allows students to apply their creativity and develop spatial awareness, all while having fun!
