My Project

Kids love studying about real animals and mythological creatures, they love building projects, and let's face it, they love LEGO projects with friends.

I am asking for you to make this magical combination come to life with a variety of LEGO kits for various ages.

We will work on these projects over the course of the year, after school, in small groups, or for a reward. As we complete our amazing animal art, we will display them various places around the school with a short story or essay about what has been created, so others will be encouraged to study about the animal, create stories, engage in the art of building, or all of the above.

Ms. Schwartz
Grades 3-5
