Here is a picture of my kids beginning to sort and organize their LEGO kits. We are excited to use this tool to build our literacy!
Legos for Literacy will enable Ms. Sandy’s 2nd grade class at Sonora Elementary School actively engage with hands-on tools to create narrative stories with descriptive plots (beginning, middle, and end) as well as several important and vivid events. Legos for Literacy, we will also be the vehicle through which kids think differently about the stories they are creating. Students will have to use engineering and mathematic skills to decide how best to create a Lego “story” that will depict what they will describe with their written story. Overall, reluctant writers will become eager and excited to create their stories with manipulatives with their own hands.
