Magnetic Building Block Sets for STEM Centers

Help me give my students different sets of magnetic building blocks to use during STEM centers.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gehrs's classroom raised $172

My Project

This will be my 19th year teaching at a Title I school. I love my students and want to see them succeed in school and in life.

This will be my second year teaching a STEM exploratory class to all of our K-5 students, and I'm always looking for hands-on STEM centers to challenge my students to become better critical thinkers and problem solvers while giving them an opportunity to collaborate with their peers.

I received a set of these magnetic building blocks at the end of the school year last year. They were such a huge hit, that I would love to have more for my independent centers. They look like a hands-on version of Minecraft, which all the students love. These building blocks give the students an opportunity to use their imaginations and be creative while having fun with their classmates. They have to learn how to share and work together as a team. They also have to learn how to deal with frustration if something does not go as planned. These are all life skills that all of our students need to be able to do on a daily basis.
