My Project

I have a creative bunch of prekindergarteners that love building with Magna Tiles. My students have fallen in love with building with the few MagnaTiles we have in class. Magnatiles encourages open-ended play, and young children enjoy using their imagination during center time to build projects using them. Children can create various structures and creations using the magnet tiles set, which will help them develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Additionally, magna tiles will enhance their fine motor skills, which is crucial for their writing skills.

Most importantly, magnet tiles can support social and emotional learning and development, as playing with these tiles can promote teamwork and student communication.

It allows students to work on social-emotional skills, such as working in groups and collaborating with peers. These crucial skills help students build positive relationships, cope with stress, and succeed academically and in life.

I appreciate your support as I add more manga tiles to my classroom
