My students need 2 sets of Magna Tiles, 2 sets of magnetic crazy shapes and a Zoob building set to develop spatial awareness and mathematics skills to enhance STREAM learning.

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
My students love to come to school everyday. My students are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Despite the many challenges they face, I try to provide my students with creative and meaningful learning experiences.
They are as bright as the sun and eager beavers when it comes to learning new things.
They are also ready to read new books, write about their families, and play math games and build amazing things, with their friends.
I am always amazed at the light in their eyes and the spring in their step.
My Project
I am asking for two sets of Magna Tiles, two sets of magnetic crazy shapes and a Zoob building set. Magna Tiles come in many shapes and have magnetic edges that allow children to build as the sides of these tiles magnetically snap together. All sorts of shapes, sizes, and structures result giving children spatial understanding of how design is affected by the placement of geometric shapes. Building up or across, my emerging engineers will see the relationship between mathematics and design, science and technology, and art. I have requested two kits, each with 100 pieces so that my children will have an adequate number to develop significant work that demonstrates basic STEM principles. One kit has translucent pieces while the other two are opaque with different colors on each side of the shapes. This affords the opportunity to include color design as part of developing an aesthetic awareness with construction.
Magna Tiles are wonderful tools for creative explorers of any age.
With a new emphasis on STREAM learning in the Common Core Curriculum, these are just the hands-on vehicles for learning. Differentiated perspectives in a collaborative atmosphere are where we ought to find Magna Tiles to spark inquisitive young minds.
