My Project

My students love building with blocks and magnet tiles. These Magna-Tile kits will further their creativity and imagination in my early childhood special education classroom! All of the kits, such as the construction kit and the forest animal kit, relate to our areas of study and help my students become engaged and excited about our curriculum!

My hope is to increase their attention and focus, their persistence in problem solving, and to learn how to ask for help if needed!

I know these Magna-Tile activities will do just that!
