 I can be a creative problem solver.
 I can think critically to plan and put abstract ideas into action.
 I can think creatively in order to plan designs to build.

  I can develop spatial awareness.

I can explore mathematical concepts such as height, length, fractions, symmetry, and shapes.

I can explore science concepts such as gravity, force and motion, stability, balance and, and cause and effect.

 I can use my writing skills to create plans, document what I made, create a story about what I made or give directions to a friend on how to make it.

 I can use my reading skills as I understand the importance of sequence, an important early reading skill, as I retell how I created my objects and how they work, read books, and read the plans that my peers have made.
