In this course, we will meet once a week for 4 weeks. This class will be very interactive. Students will have time each week to briefly share a Lego® Creation that they have made. Then, we will dive into the build of the week. Although this class is more instructional in nature than my social building classes, builders will be encouraged to discuss and share their ideas often throughout our class time together. I really believe in student-ownership of classes. The flow of each class will be: Builders will share their creations. We will talk about the build of the week and do some thinking/learning about techniques. Students will begin their builds. Depending on the details builders wish to add to their builds, they may finish their creations after class. My hope is that they will create the build during class then be inspired to keep building after class. I will encourage students to have conversations and problem solve together with respect and kindness. Here is a breakdown of what we will create each week: Week 1: Balloon Powered Cars Week 2: Marble Mazes Week 3: Spinning Tops Week 4: Building Adventure Challenge NOTE: Each camp session will run between 30-40 minutes depending on the number of builders who enroll.

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. DayReviews
