Engage Young Minds

Help me give my students magna tiles and ice cream math game to enrich their imagination and math skills. The felt board will also be more engaging during story time

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Vandervalk's classroom raised $370

My Project

My students love to build with blocks and build towers. The Magna Tiles will help them enrich their mind to use their imagination. They like counting games and the ice cream game is a good way for them to count and have fun. These are great learning tools for center time. The felt board would be a great resource for the students to engage and interact during story time. We read the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Goldilocks and Three Little Bears book. The felt pieces are a great way for the children to interact during book time.
