What's included
1 live meeting
30 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
1 hour per week. Students should bring a creation that they are working on or have completed to each session. They should be ready to tell us about their creation, any unique techniques they used...They are also encouraged to ask for advice from fellow Builders if they are stuck or need tips on a build they are working on.Class Experience
In this social course,builders can come together to share their creations, learn new techniques, and participate in mini-challenges. During our time together, I will model and encourage respect, creativity, and determination. Builders will have the chance to chat and build friendships as they share their passion for all things related to building bricks. Builders should all bring a build they are working on or have completed to share with the group. Each builder will have the opportunity to practice speaking to others during each class about their creations and any unique techniques they may have used in their build. Most of the class will be student -led. Each class will also include a mini-build challenge that we will often complete during class. (If students are really diving into the sharing and conversation about their builds, I may sometimes introduce the challenge for them to try at home. I really want to follow the lead of the students in each session). Building techniques will also be introduced and shared throughout the ongoing sessions.
Learning Goals
It is my goal for Builders to experience: confidence in speaking and explaining their builds to others, social growth and good character when speaking and responding, determination to try new techniques/challenges, and an opportunity to share their creativity with others. As a Building Brick League Jr coach, I have had experience with encouraging children to listen and respect one another and their ideas, to problem solve, and to celebrate Building Brick Awesomeness.
Other Details
Supply List

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello Families,
My name is Danielle Day. I have a passion for inspiring young learners! I have a degree in Elementary Education. I have taught in both homeschool and public elementary school settings over the the last 18 years. I have also taught ESL online. Aside from teaching, I have coached basketball and a Building Brick League Team. I think learning should be authentic, engaging, and fun! My husband and I have 3 sons. As a family, we enjoy playing games, reading, riding our bikes, building with building bricks, and exploring nature.
- If you do not see dates listed for a class, that does not mean that I'm no long teaching the class or that it isn't awesome. It just means that right now, I have more class ideas than available hours in the day. I try to balance opening a variety of classes and leaving myself some time to be able to accommodate requested classes. Please never hesitate to send me a message requesting that I open more sessions of a class!
I hope to meet your learner(s) in class soon!
Have a great day,
Mrs. Day
