Ms. Gates' 6th Grade Social Studies Class just completed a Lego Landforms project. Students were tasked with choosing a landform to create out of Legos, keeping landforms secret from their classmates. Then students completed a research document about their particular landforms, their characteristics, influences, and challenges. Groups presented in front of their peers practicing their speech giving skills and demonstrating their acquired knowledge. Ms. Gates would like to thank her students for being responsible and taking care of the Legos during this activity. "No Lego Left Behind!"
