Local students find LEGO makes learning fun, easier Continued from pg. 7 Two hundred LEGO kits have been purchased and all teachers at HHCS have now been trained in the program. Parents were also invited to a meeting to sit down and come up with their own builds. "The parents were harder to keep in line than the kids; they were really getting into it," added Cook. "I like it because it's another way of expressing yourself. Some kids speak well and you'll get the kid whose hand is always up in class. They have everything to say and then you give them a written assignment and they give two- or three-word sentences because it's a lot easier to talk than write. Other kids are more reserved, or don't feel like talking. They write well. But this is a way of communicating without doing either-- you build. It's very stimulating." Utilizing the 4 Cs Phase - Connect, Construct, Contemplate and Continue - the LEGO Serious Play program comes into play in the classrooms every week or two, at the discretion of the homeroom teacher. "I thought it was a really good idea because it's pretty rare to learn with toys like this," said Grade 5 HHCS student Riley Budgell. "It's just a fun way to learn instead of doing work sheets. It's an easier way to learn things in a different way that a work sheet can't." Insurance covered by Hockey Canada Our Teams & Individuals 36th Year!
