The Crazy Pre-K Classroom

I have just posted my newest TpT unit titled "75+ ways to learn with legos". This 140 page unit includes 18 pages of activities as well as over 100 pages of resources to go with! I love teaching with legos and have had great success especially with my boys on teaching concepts not only in Math but in Literacy, Listening, Visual Discrimination and many other areas. Each and every activity is geared toward  the pre-k to 2nd grade classroom. Please check it out! These pictures are just a few of the many resources in this unit. please take a minute to open the preview file on TpT to see many more resources. 75+ Ways to Learn with Legos Enjoy! Christine
