My Project

My students work hard during our lessons and earn free choice break time, many of which are written into their IEPs. Of course, the highest reward that we can provide in class is typically outdoor time or the student's favorite "tablet time". As an educator and a parent- I am over iPad/ tablet time.

Help me in providing high-interest Lego builders to my students.

With these sets, my students can practice our classroom motto of The 4 Cs: Communicate, Collaborate, Compromise, and Cooperate. These fundamental skills will guide them in becoming contributing members of our school community.

Mrs. Aquino Buchanan Elementary School Grades PreK-2
