‘ULTIMATE
LEGO CHALLENGE’ (Grades 1-5): Join us on Thursday, April 30,
6:30pm-7:30pm: to participate in the
ultimate Lego challenge. We’ll build
each challenge individually and then spend the second half of the evening
building a group project.
Why use LEGOs? LEGO
provides a unique building system that encourages children to give form and
expression to their own imagination. The system offers endless possibilities but
at the same time, not anything goes! The bricks have a “mind of their own”,
that the child learns to compose with to achieve their creations. They are fun play materials that let you create
at different levels and you can continually add to each creation. Children can build whatever is in their
imagination and bring it to life through play.
The children can build on their own ideas by seeing what others make for
each challenge. Play and learn with us
on April 30th!
THE LIFE
AND TIMES OF ROBERT FROST: The Robert Frost Farm in Derry, NH was home
to Robert Frost and his family from 1900-1911. Frost, one of the nation’s most

attributed many of his poems to memories from the Derry years.

years teaching the early history of Haverhill, John Greenleaf Whitttier, Robert
Frost, and Norman Rockwell. He teaches
Life-Long Learning classes at Northern Essex Community College and gives
