My Project

The students currently do not have legos in the classroom. Legos are a great tool in teaching creative thinking, teamwork, communication, conflict resolution and problem-solving skills. The students will learn how to work alongside their peer and create along with learning how to share and make requests. Not only will the legos be used to promote communication and social skills but the students will be using them to build different types of home in their unit that focuses on people around the world. The legos will allow the students to learn and visualize how children live around the world.
