Kids Who Love Lego: Build, Draw & Write

Does your learner love to build?  Would you like them to explore ways to connect building with drawing and/or writing?  Then this is the class for you!

In this ongoing class, we share our latest Lego creations and use them as inspiration draw and/or write.  Each week focuses on a different activity (listed below). This class is designed for children with a range of literacy skills.  The way each child engages with the activities presented in class will depend on their stage of literacy development (they may be drawing, writing letters, words, or sentences). The overarching goal of the class is to use enthusiasm for building to get excited about putting ideas down on paper.

Each class includes:
- Sharing our builds 
- Introduction to a drawing/writing activity (see the activity list below)
- Group brainstorming
- Time to work independently (with support from me as needed)
- A final opportunity to share
