LEGO'S


Lego's are a GREAT resource to have in every classroom as they open up a students imagination and lead to higher order thinking. I am very fortunate to work in a school who believes in the research linked to Lego's and in return they have been kind enough to provide a Lego table for every Kindergarten classroom. 


There are many uses for Lego's in the classroom. Some of these include:
  1. Create an image to illustrate a part of a text or poem.
  2. Create an image and write a sentence or story to match.
  3. Illustrate the various emotions to show how you are feeling.
  4. Use math words such as who can build the tallest or who can build the shortest.
  5. Create a LEGO book for students to look at the pictures and create the images on their own.
