We did something similar for my son's class. He is in a year round program
where they change class rooms at each break. Some of the materials belong
to the teachers and move with them, other materials belong to the room and
stay there. Back in January when they changed rooms they didn't have any
LEGO because it belonged to the room they had been in. I put together a tub
that contained most of the part of two Target Star Wars combo packs that I
had picked up on clearance after Christmas and added a slew of Free Style
wheels that I had laying around. Needless to say the kids and the teacher
were pretty excited to have their "own" LEGO to use in the classroom.
