My Project

The kindergartners in my classroom are busy, curious, five and six year olds. They love to use the limited number of hands-on learning materials we currently have. The Magna-tiles and alphabet containers will give my students the hands-on learning they crave! We are currently learning and connecting beginning sounds and letter names to objects around us. The alphabet containers will help make those connections.

Magna-tiles help spark imagination, discover, create and problem-solve through everyday play.

Magna-tiles include all parts of a Stem lesson. Help my students learn to design and build structures while playing. Magna-tiles offer many opportunities to build many different structures while allowing students to work together, creating strategies and using critical thinking skills.
