Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Not only are Magna-Tiles® loved by kids of all ages, but they strengthen STEAM and problem-solving skills. They also foster creativity, imagination and language development. In addition, many of our students this year would benefit from using these as a way to develop fine-motor skills.

This farm is compatible with our other Magna-Tiles® Structures® and original Magna-Tiles® sets.

Years ago, another Donor's Choose donation allowed me to expand on first set given as part of our math curriculum. Since one set doesn't allow for the creation of too much, it has been incredible to see the creations made by countless children through the years from the funding the previous Magna-Tiles®.

I was drawn to this farm set, because I really wanted to elevate the language development component for our kiddos. I cannot wait to see it in action!
