This article is about the LEGO figure. For the theme, see Minifigures. Minifigures, commonly referred to as a "minifig", or simply just "fig", are small plastic figures just over 1 1/2 inches (4 cm), or four bricks tall. They connect to LEGO System Bricks, and usually consist of 9-10 parts, though certain unique minifigures in some themes can have as few as 6 or more than 10 depending on the character they are intended to portray. The minifigure was designed by LEGO model builder Jens Nygaard Kn

We have had indoor recess after indoor recess and I've noticed that my students have a particular interest in 'building 'this year. Perhaps it's the new Lego movie coming out or I have a room full of future engineers ;) In either case, I have a new math station and a freebie to share with you tonight. First, the new station. It requires students to work with a partner or small group. They will roll a dice, add ten and cover the number. To allow for differentiation I have included a counting on card. I will have students place the dice on the card then use the ten frame of building blocks to count on. As you can see there is an I can card included to build student independence and every page is included in color and black & white. You can find this math station at my TPT store HERE. Now how about that freebie I mentioned? I saw a picture on Pinterest of a building block board game and it sparked an idea so I thought I would share with you :) Students spin the spinner and move up the board following the directions as they travel. (The building possibilities are endless with just the spinner.) I have included an I can... card to keep students in task. The goal is to build the highest tower. You can download a copy for free HERE. Now, let's see who's spending a quiet Friday night at home. I'll send a copy of my Adding 10 activity to the first 3 people who comment on this post :)

Hi all, my name is Emma Farrell and I blog over at Clever Classroom. I am so excited because this is my first time blogging here at the Primary Chalkboard and the first time ever on a collaborative blog. I sure am honored to be in such fine company. I am here to share with you this exciting and very simple classroom management strategy I cooked up. I hope you find it useful. It's so simple to implement and your students will love it. You will need: 1 x legos board Colored lego rectangles or squares That's it! If you don't have legos, you could use any other construction toys you have like duplo or wooden blocks (the smaller ones). Each table group (or any other group) will be allocated a color. If you already use color names for your tables and they don't match your legos, just allocate colors that are close. When a table is working towards their goal, on task, helpful, display great manners, working in a team, in pairs or whatever your goal, a student places one piece of lego on the board and each time students add the same colored legos to their tower. The team with the highest legos tower is the winning table/group at the end of the day or week, depending on how you want to implement it. You can even add half bricks instead of a full brick, depending on what you are rewarding. It's ideal if you can outline your expectations and social skills at the beginning of the year to revisit them and have them as your success criteria. You could also create an anchor chart with your students about expectations of tables or table work. Use such frameworks us; students look like, sound like, have. Or students at tables; are, have, can, will. I hope this helps your classroom management program this year. Font in images by Kimberly Geswein Fonts. Emma
