Thank You Dollar General for Supporting LEGO Literacy!

Sara’s Garden and New Horizons Academy want to thank the Dollar General Literacy Foundation for supporting LEGO Literacy!

Everyone LOVES LEGOs, and LEGO has developed specific literacy kits for educational development. We are so excited to say that we have just received a $2,000 grant from the Dollar General Literacy Foundation in support of this project.

The LEGO Starter Sets give children the start of a story and then encourage them to “tell” the story, build its components out of LEGOs, and finally to write it down for publication. Our classes will also use Classic LEGO Sets to explore shapes, sizes, and color patterns; so children can build, play, interact, and socialize together. Middle schoolers and high schoolers won’t be left out either, building robotic LEGOs to support science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) principles. Everyone will also enjoy reading a wide variety of LEGO books from beginning readers to chapter books and even architectural and classical literature with LEGO and Brick illustrations for preschoolers to high schoolers.

Thank you, Dollar General, for helping our children love learning through LEGO Literacy!
