Lego Story Starter kits - these kits 

can be used with language arts/ 

science. The students build a scene 

using Lego mini figures and pieces.

learning in science, illustrate part of a 

story, or use it as a starting point for 

writing. Endless ideas 

 

  Lego WeDo 2.0 kits - these kits work 

on basic computer programming. The 

students build (with the help of their 

chrome book because instructions are 

there) and then program some simple 

robots. I really like the website with 

this because it makes differentiation 

easy.
