What it is: LEGO Education has some truly fantastic resources for classrooms. LEGO Club In-School Edition Magazines are free to schools and designed for first, second, third, and fourth grade students. The 2011 LEGO Club In-School Magazines have two themes: Ancient Egypt and Space Exploration. The magazines can be ordered in two versions. For first grade students, LEGO Club Junior includes puzzles, easy-to-read comics, and fun building challenges. For students in second, third, and fourth grade, LEGO Club focuses on basic reading, critical thinking games, and building ideas. Each magazine comes with a custom teacher’s guide that include fun hands-on activities, classroom tidbits, and articles about how to create a LEGO Smart classroom for your students.
How to integrate LEGO Education Magazine into your curriculum: These fun magazines will have your students learning about and exploring Ancient Egypt and Space Exploration in new hands-on ways. Your students will love the building challenges, comics and reading material, and activities that pique their curiosity. Use the LEGO Club Magazine as an introduction to a unit on Space or Ancient Egypt, or offer the activities in the magazine as extension activities.
Tips: Magazines are packaged in groups of 50, 100, and 200. Consider ordering the magazine for the entire grade or school.

What a fantastic free resource!
I’ve been looking for a free resource like this for some of my students who like LEGO products. Last year, I used the LEGO Mindstorm Robot in my classroom as a free time activity and it was wildly successful as a nice gateway activity for students who may later want to explore robotics more deeply.
@Buzz, the LEGO robotics lab has been a huge success at CHC too, the kids take it as an elective and love it!
Wow…that’s great! I think kids love LEGOs at all ages. How neat that so many schools are starting to get into robotics more through them. Thanks for sharing.
I agree, LEGOs never go out of style, they are a great imagination outlet!
