Legos Week 1

This week in class we worked on our first Speed Build.  Each class we will have around 15 minutes to do a theme-based build, then share our builds with others in class.  Our theme this week was "Something about Me."  We had a lot of great builds and some great presenting, and good audience involvement.  

We will build our communication skills, like annunciation, projection, eye contact, posture and body language, each week.  We will also build our listening skills, including asking good questions, complimenting, and giving constructive feedback.  We have other fun things to do in class as well!

One thing the kids can do at home if they choose is the Weekly Challenge.  They have all week to complete the Weekly Challenge and submit a photo (and caption if they prefer) to my email address (see FILA class web info page for address).  We will share photos on this blog.  I already have a couple of submissions from this week (way to go!), and I will posts all the photos for Week 1 challenge next Friday.  The Weekly Challenge is extended to ALL class members (including those who are doing games for the first half of the semester).

Week 1 Challenge

Build something with a summer theme! The end of summer is here, and there must have been something you did, wished to have done, ate, watched, read, or imagined this summer.  Maybe a Lego pool with Lego swimmers?  Maybe a Lego camping scene?  Lots of possibilities here!


Also, please remember DO NOT BRING ANY LEGOS TO CLASS!!
