Learning with Legos

Just ask an Ada elementary student

Did you know that Legos can talk? Just listen.

“I’m unique because I’m good at drawing.”
“I’m unique because I have a lot of friends.”
“I’m unique because I love reading and math.”

Legos climb the walls at Ada elementary this month and the words on the Legos are written by Ada elementary students.

Using the theme “connect” – appropriate for the plastic blocks – students in Kindergarten through sixth grade are understanding what connects them as a class, school and community.

During a focus time earlier this month, each student identified one way that student is unique and one way that student connects to someone else in class.

The student-completed answers, written on a Lego-shaped sheet of paper, are now in the elementary hallways, visually showing all the ways students connect.

The youngest students drew pictures to demonstration how they connect, and the answers became more details in the upper grades.
