Driving Off to Better Grades

Help me give my students motivation to get their work turned in. Having LEGO for them to build after doing their work has been a game changer for my classroom.

My Project

Many of my students have expressed to me their love of automobiles. I have some older LEGO sets in my classroom for them to work on when they have completed their assignments. Well after talking to them and building these relationships with them I thought it would be awesome to connect with my students and try and get them a classic car for them to build. Since providing my students with older sets some of my students have really started to excel in the classroom! I feel like I can make a bigger impact by finding themes they enjoy and providing them with those types of incentives like automobiles. I try all different types of ways to help motivate my students to help them get to their graduation day! That is the main goal here at my school is to get my students to graduate!
