Students explore concepts such as team-work, vocabulary, etc with hands-on play. Through playful exploration, they make predictions (for example if something will fall) and then test those ideas, building both curiosity and problem-solving skills. Magnets also spark imaginative play; students use them in centers to move objects across a table like \"magic,\" create races with magnet-powered cars, build the arctic, farms, jungles, etc. or design pretend fishing games. This playful learning naturally leads to rich conversations, collaboration, and laughter, while still building an understanding of scientific concepts. In this way, Magna-Tiles provide not only a science lesson but also joyful opportunities for creativity, teamwork, and discovery.\r\n\r\nI greatly appreciate the donation, which allows students more possibilities to play together, problem-solve together, and create whole new worlds!","fullyFundedDate":1740663987606,"projectUrl":"project/stem-bin-options/9127036/","projectTitle":"STEM Bin Options","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Johnson","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8432294"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_79096","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":430,"numTeachers":22,"percentFrplEligible":95,"percentAsian":27,"percentBlack":24,"percentWhite":27,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"19.5:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"RURAL_FRINGE"},"inStateSupporters":66.4,"schoolId":79096,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Springville Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Springville Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/nebraska/omaha-public-schools/springville-elementary-school/79096"}
