LEGO Education

LEGO® Education Solutions for primary school provide the engaging, hands-on experiences students need to explore core STEM concepts and link them to real-life phenomenon. LEGO® bricks, programming tools, and supporting lesson plans for teachers ignite students natural curiosity, helping them develop essential communication, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking-skills in a fun and exciting way. Tactile, flexible solutions grow with students as they problem-solve and discover how science, technology, engineering, and math affect their everyday life.
LEGO Education also brings this creative spirit to robotics clubs, coding programs, and maker spaces. With fun new Maker activities, LEGO Education makes the joy of discovery even more accessible.

Distance Learning Tips:

Distance Learning and Teaching is new for all of us at HGE! It is not something we are afraid of either. We are willing to work and try everything until we find a solution. Are you?
Here are some tips that can help you stay focused, get organized, and keep your academics up during this time.

1. Plan your days! Make your own schedule (and follow it).
2. Do the most important things first. Prioritize what you could and should be doing.
3. When stressed, take a break doing something you absolutely love to do! But, don't forget to come back to whatever it was you left.
4. Make checklists or "to-do" lists. Scratch off things with excitement when you finish them!
5. Double check everything. Double check what your teacher sent, reread what they wrote, reread the directions, and look at your assignment again.

During the Reading Under the Stars event at Hialeah Gardens Elementary, teachers and staff were able to read stories to students in grades Pre-K through Second Grade. Students also had the chance to meet and listen to author read and his work!

"Poor Teddy" Author Event

First and Second grade students had the opportunity to meet and sit with the author of Poor Teddy. Poor Teddy is a realistic fiction book about a dog that gets adopted at the dog shelter. The author read the book to the students and students were able to complete an activity with the author as well! What a great experience!
