Movie Making Magic

First graders are stepping into the director’s chair as they begin crafting stop motion animation sets using LEGO bricks to bring their original stories to life. These young storytellers are learning to shape narratives that include plot, setting, and theme. As they carefully move each piece and capture frame-by-frame images, students explore sequencing, visual storytelling, and the magic of creative expression. This joyful, hands-on project blends literacy, art, and technology—empowering even the youngest learners to become confident creators with a bold voice and imaginative vision. Finished projects are coming soon!
