My Project

I teach a classroom full of curious, energetic, and imaginative Kindergarteners who are always eager to explore the world around them. Every day, they come to school full of questions, excitement, and a natural desire to build, create, and discover. I love how their eyes light up when they try something new or solve a problem together — their joy in learning is contagious!

The Create-A-Path Magnetic Center is the perfect tool to nurture their creativity while building essential early STEM skills.

This hands-on resource allows students to design their own paths using magnetic pieces, encouraging problem-solving, spatial reasoning, and fine motor development. More than just a fun activity, it fosters collaboration, trial and error, and independent thinking — all through play.

With this resource, my students will have the opportunity to imagine, test, and build their own ideas in a meaningful and engaging way. It’s tools like this that make learning exciting and lasting. Thank you for helping me give them a classroom filled with wonder and possibility!
