Kids Who Love Lego: Build, Draw & Write
Class experience
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...
The goal of this class is to explore different ways to connect Legos with reasons to write/draw both in class and afterwards at home. I believe that learning to read and write is a process that develops gradually with support, time and authentic opportunities to use their developing skills. Making connections between literacy and play is a way to motivate young learners to practice and continue to develop their literacy skills.
I have a Masters in early childhood and inclusive education with an emphasis on literacy. I have been an educator for 20 years and am passionate about teaching literacy skills that support a lifelong love of reading and writing. I see all children as capable individuals who are motivated to learn when their interests are honored and they are encouraged to make their own discoveries.
Paper and something to draw/write with (pencils/crayons/markers) Learners are also encouraged to bring something they have built out of Legos
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
