Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills in kindergarten classrooms is essential for laying the groundwork for future academic success. Introducing magnetic tiles for designing structures offers a hands-on approach to learning about architecture and engineering concepts. This project aims to integrate magnetic tiles into the kindergarten curriculum to inspire young learners and ignite their passion for building and design.

By providing opportunities for children to explore, experiment, and create with magnetic tiles, we aim to promote the development of spatial awareness, fine motor skills, art design, and STEM literacy.

Magnetic tiles offer endless possibilities for creative expression and imaginative play. From simple shapes to complex structures, students can design and build according to their interests and ideas and create spectacular artistic designs.
