Tools for Schools Winner keeps kids learning with LEGOS

Wisconsin, Wisconsin (WXOW)-On Thursday, Ann Suttie of Melrose Mindoro Elementary School received $750 for her kindergarten class.

She is the latest recipient of the "School Tools" grant.

Now, every student in Ms. Suttie’s class can use their own Lego bricks.

"Kids want to play Lego blocks. Lego blocks are like their playthings. This year we had to close Lego blocks due to COVID-19, so I had to think,'What should I do to make them still build Lego blocks?" I like those STEMs. Activities made them think, so I said: "How do I get some LEGOS?" Then I looked at the price of Lego and I was like'oh my goodness'," Suti said.

Suttie's husband made a small board for the LEGO table to make it stronger.

Grants were provided by Brenngen Auto Group, Dependable Solutions and River Bank.

Joe Ruskey, owner of Dependable Solutions, said: "These teachers have the greatest ideas and they only need extra help to put these ideas into practice, so we are very happy to be able to provide a little help.

Ms. Suttie added in her bursary application: "LEGOS is an excellent tool for developing advanced motor skills and strengthening physical strength. Students

Learn how to fix parts and how to twist, turn and manipulate them to fit them together. Lego blocks can actually help children develop perseverance, overcome frustration, and improve concentration and concentration. More importantly, Lego improves students' ability to learn engineering, math, and literacy. My goal is to give my students this opportunity again. "
