Last week I was asked to attend a training on LEGOS Build to Express. This training taught me how to use LEGOS when teaching. We can use these to create predictions for books we're reading, to illustrate scenes from battles we may discuss in Alabama History, or even demonstrate how we may use fractions each day. Each student is given a prompt, an amount of maximum pieces that can be used, and then given 3 - 5 minutes to build.
To begin we built towers. Each student was given 15 pieces and 3 minutes to build. Following their build each student was given a chance to explain what they built. We had phone towers, castle towers, plain towers, princesses in towers, queens in towers, towers in New England, towers in England, and even a tower with the girl from Tangled in it. I loved hearing each students' story!
Ask your child what our #1 rule in LEGOS is and why we have that as a rule.
Your students are very creative! Since I don't have a child in your class, what is your #1 rule and why?
