My students need Magna-Tiles to help learn about 2D and 3D shapes and make math come alive!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lukash's classroom raised $302

Celebrating 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 Students
Mathematics should involve more than paper and pencil. Making math come alive is difficult when resources and manipulatives are limited. All of my students deserve hands-on learning with materials that help them make the connection between what they are learning and the real world.
I am an elementary school kindergarten teacher in a Title 1 school in New York.
I just finished my second year as a kindergarten teacher at my school. This past school year I taught 16 students in a general education classroom, and due to budget cuts, my class size is going to go up to about 26 or 27.
My Project
I have requested Magna Tiles to make learning math fun! They can be used for many different purposes such as patterns, spatial problem solving, and logical thinking. These Magna Tiles will help to make the lives of my students better.
Magna Tiles can be used for so many different activities. We can teach students about patterns, understanding the difference between two and three dimensional shapes, measuring distance and weight, as well as being able to identify shapes within other shapes.
My project is so important to me because kindergarten education has become heavily focused on teaching literacy, math and other academic skills.
My goal as a teacher is to make learning fun and enjoyable, to instill a love for learning by making it hands on and connecting it to the real world.
