Sand and Magnets

Help me give my students fresh sand for our sandbox and magnetic tiles for our STEM center.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Olenick's classroom raised $432

My Project

We need some clean sand for our sandbox and magnetic tiles for our STEM center. Our sandbox has turned into dirt. Adding some fresh, clean sand will make it a more enjoyable play area for the students. We also have a limited set of magnetic tiles. The students love this activity and always run to it during center time. I would love to provide more magnetic tiles for them to build structures with and get their creativity flowing. This center is always being used and fills up quickly. It’s a favorite!
