I have to tell you how impressed I am with the many talented Lego builders in our classroom! This is by far our most popular choice for boys and girls during free play time. As a teacher, I love how much children learn through this kind of play- fine motor skills, team work, creativity, problem solving, math skills and even language skills! Working in a team, the children are speaking and practicing new words. Even positional words such as over, under, beside, between, above, are a part of literacy and language. The students enjoy Legos so much I've decided we will be playing a fun guessing game next week as we begin a new math unit on estimation.
I also wanted to ask...what are some of your favorite memories building with Legos??? They can be memories from your childhood or recent family fun playing with your child. Please share!
