Yesterday he was arranging various toys to make a skyline and then he was building ramps (aka inclined planes) for his police cars to drive off. To encourage STEM thinking, I label some of his natural play with science terms. We were "experimenting" with helium balloons and testing to see which of his little trinket toys they could hold in the air. I asked him to "hypothesize" which ones the balloons would be able to elevate. My indoctrination might be working...last week he told me he wanted to be a biologist like me.

My kiddo loves to build all of the things: super hero things, elf things, castles, etc. Partner is a STEM fella and they built a 3-D printer together when she was 4. Now they are building her first computer. Legos make her feel confident enough to be his lab partner when they engineer computer-y things.

From being painfully shy and keeping to himself (SO not how he is at home), to not liking reading, to not liking writing, not using his vocabulary. The list goes on! He is now in third grade, rocks some totally awesome glow in the dark glasses, and has jumped to almost a sixth grade reading level! To help him get through the tough spots, Legos have been a life saver! It amazes me every day just how creative he is with them! It's helped to be more verbal and descriptive, gives him endless writing topics, and has really helped him be more social.

Each year they have a different theme so it is different. The kids also bring something to take apart, like an old electronic device.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043134497487201321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-20818288507366147632017-03-29T07:53:48.234-05:002017-03-29T07:53:48.234-05:00When Johnathan was in First grade and had to do a ...When Johnathan was in First grade and had to do a project on careers, he didn't want to do the project at all. When I asked why, it was because he didn't like any of the career options. So his first lesson in self advocating with a teacher was to ask her if he could choose his own career. She said yes. His dream career? Lego designer! He spent a month researching a Lego deaigner's career. Best project ever! And to this day, it's still his dream career.Noƫlle Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546348321967596446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30058350.post-76187516356454633182017-03-29T07:11:49.701-05:002017-03-29T07:11:49.701-05:00We love Legos!

We all try things together, so they get to explore a new skill and we incorporate family time. Win win!Chiconkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824934269870487334noreply@blogger.com
