As each box came in to the room, their eyes were filled with excitement. \r\n\r\nThe students have been using the popsicle for math as they have been learning to add. Students have been adding the dots of each popsicle to do their addition problems. The magnetic tiles have been great for syllable reading and building words, as well as for creativity where the students can use their imagination and build towers. This has led to students working together and helping each other. \r\n The resources have helped create a more inclusive and engaging learning environment where every student feels empowered to participate and take risks in their learning.\r\n\r\nAs we moved forward in the school year, I am hoping that these materials will be useful to incorporate in our habitat unit. Students will be able to use their creativity by building and being hands-on with their learning.
