My Project

I am so excited to start a new school year full of fun activities and interactive experiences for my first graders. I have purchased some of these magnetic blocks in the past, but have found that we just need more!

Children LOVE engineering and these fun magnetic blocks encourage them to use their imagination and collaborate with each other as they engage in the engineering process!

I am always amazed at my students' creativity and enjoy watching them follow instruction books as they work together and have fun with each other.
