****This class is pre-recorded and does NOT meet live.**** INTRODUCTION Hey there! Get ready to dive into the exciting world of Beyblades with Lego! In this class, I'll guide you through building different types of Beyblades—like attack, stamina, defense, and a special type—using Lego pieces. Plus, you'll learn to create your very own Lego launcher to send your Beyblades spinning into action! LESSON BREAKDOWN Building Different Beyblades: We'll start by exploring which Lego pieces work best for each Beyblade type. Follow along as I show you how to put them together and tweak them for maximum performance. Let Your Creativity Fly: Once you've got the hang of it, it's time to unleash your creativity! Spend some extra time experimenting with different Lego pieces to create your own custom Beyblade designs. Mix and match components to see what works best for your ultimate Beyblade creation. SHOWCASE: Show off your creations! After each lesson, share pictures or videos of your Lego Beyblades in the classroom. I'll be here to give you feedback within 24 hours, helping you refine your designs and techniques.

Supply List
Lego pieces to use will be posted in the classroom and sent as a welcome message. Please check your emails and spam folders. Students will also need a sawtooth ripcord. In the file, I have also included the specific names & links for some of the less common pieces so that if you want to purchase them from the Lego store, you are welcome to do so. In the videos, I will be discussing possible substitutions if you don't have a specific piece. The fun thing about building Legos is that we can be creative! We can find different pieces to use and make our own designs. In the videos, I will be explaining the functions of the different components so that once you understand the functions, you can try to figure out how to re-create your Beys using the Lego pieces you have as well.

About Me:
I have a Master's degree in teaching and over 15 years of teaching experience in both public and private schools. From 2016-2020, I've been teaching and training teachers for online instruction, specializing in methodologies and curriculum development. I also spent many years studying how the brain learns information. It's fascinating! I'm a mom of two kiddos. They are the reason I love teaching.
My classes:
All the materials in my classroom are designed with kids in mind, and I ensure that all my classes are tested with students before being launched. My strength lies in motivating struggling students to enjoy learning. I help them overcome fear of challenging subjects like math or languages by creating an environment
that is fun and engaging. Over the years, I have implemented effective lessons, using unconventional methods such as Singapore math, that are not typically taught in classrooms. These methods allow me to target students' individual needs.
Accomplishments:
I have spearheaded several initiatives in online teaching, including the first successful online classroom program in the world for impoverished children, which I presented at the International TESOL Convention in 2018. My ultimate desire is to see education made accessible to underprivileged kids worldwide.
Educational Philosophy:
I believe that every child deserves access to fun and effective education. Recognizing that every child learns differently, I strive to accommodate various learning styles. Above all, my goal is to put a smile on every child's face.
