This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
My Head Start students come from the inner-city and do not have as many advantages as students from other areas. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to make sure they have what they need to learn and succeed in school and in the world. I teach at a Title I school in Nebraska, which means that 93% of the students receive free breakfast and lunch.
My students are amazing, and I am proud to be their teacher!
They come to school eager to learn and are curious about the world around them. My school is a safe place for them, a place for them to be nurtured, loved, and prepared for the future.
My Project
My students LOVE to play with Magna Tiles. It is by far the most requested center in the classroom. The possibilities are endless with Magna Tiles. Boys love them. Girls love them. Teachers love them, too.
Magna Tiles open up my students' creativity and imagination!
They use them to make buildings, rocket ships, boats, etc. With these new sets of tiles, they will be able to retell some of our favorite Eric Carle stories, as well as create cars and trucks. By having more sets of these tiles, I can create individual centers to allow more students access to their favorite toys.
