Brick Building Club - Challenge, Build and Share

Here is your challenge, now start building! Each week learners are given a new challenge or theme to build out of building bricks. You can create while sharing with others and show your build to the rest of the class when you finish.

Class Experience

Students will need at least a gallon size bag of building bricks (having more is better). At the beginning of class I will present a challenge for them to build (we rotate through 8-10 different challenges), and they will spend about 25 minutes building their creation while being able to converse with one another and see ideas. At the end of the class each learner will share about what they created and have a chance to show it off. This course will have a different challenge each week. 

 I do not provided guided instruction for each build. Students are encouraged to use their imagination to create something of their own. I will show examples of different building techniques for our challenges that students can incorporate into their own build. 

Learners can stay and repeat the challenges as much as they would like. I rotate through several challenges, but they are always welcome to stick around and build something different than they did several weeks ago. I also try to add new challenges in to the rotation as I make them or as students suggest. 

Each learner is encouraged to share their build to practice speaking in front of a group and using descriptive words to tell about what they have been building. They can also bring something to class each week that they have been working on outside of class if they wish. 

***Reminder*** if more than one child is taking the class, all siblings must be registered. They can both be on the same device. 
This is a subscription class. If your learner remains subscribed, you will be charged each Sunday for the following week of class, until you unsubscribe. 

If we have a full class we may go over 5 minutes or so on time. Please let me know if your learner needs to leave at the allotted class end time. I want to make sure all learners have time to share. 

I also have a class for younger learners as well

These are subject to adjustment, as sometimes I receive learner input on challenges and like to incorporate those as well. Every learner is welcome to build anything they would like each class and they do not have to stick to these challenges if they want to work on something else.
Learning Goals
Students will be able to connect to other students and improve their brick building skills by conversing and learning from others.
