My Project

I am SO excited about this project! My students have been craving connection since the pandemic started. Being back at school in-person this year has been a huge boost for them, but we're ready to ramp it up. My students still need more practice with positive social interactions, understanding their feelings, and processing emotions. Using Lego-based learning activities integrated with beautiful books, I know we can make it happen. In addition to the social-emotional aspect, using Legos in the classroom is a great use of their brains to tinker and make projects, collaborate with others, and just have fun.
