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.”

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.
