Several parents has purchased sets as well. They were surprised the learning concepts with blocks, Math, cognitive ,problem solving, motor skills ,co-operative play etc. \r\n It is such a joy to see the families get excited about learning.

Look at the alligator's mouth, it can open and close like a mouth!\".\r\n\r\nPutting the 'new Magna tiles' at the light table gave the children an appreciation of how the changing of the lights effects the colors. Their curiosity of how the light shines through the magna tiles grew more and more each day and asked to have the light table on flashing colors so they could create colorful reflections. Comments were: \"Looked at this shadow! When the table light is blue and I put the red magna tiles on it, it turns purple!\" Children learn vocabulary words such as reflection, shadow, primary colors, secondary colors, prism, illumination, translucent, glow, shine, twinkle, dawn, and moonlight.\r\n\r\nMy next steps in to continue to encourage and support my preschoolers with their imagination.

The extra added bonus of the washer and dryer made the house area even more popular than before. They were continually washing baby clothes and sorting clothes into the proper baskets.\r\nOur dramatic area had taken a higher level of problem solving, imagination, cooperation, and socialization. The doctor and salon stations encouraged the children to work together and problem solve as they learned how to make 'appointments' and gave them a sense of responsibility and confidence as they use the ample materials in their imaginative play. \r\nThe Lincoln logs were a hit. They discovered how the building system works as they stacked the logs. One child even said, \"These are almost like making pattern because you have to put the pieces this way and that way. Like a pattern!\"\r\nWith their imagination and creativity, my preschoolers are strengthening their eye-hand coordination, fine motor skills, problem solving skills, and spatial awareness. No words can express how these materials have provided them the opportunity to build confidence, develop empathy, spark imagination, cooperation and socialization.","fullyFundedDate":1733277746323,"projectUrl":"project/building-confidence-for-future-careers/8966405/","projectTitle":"Building Confidence for Future Careers","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Brown","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8273077_orig.png?crop=894,894,x93,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1642187669717","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/adelina-brown"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_111471","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":57,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":14,"percentWhite":72,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":8,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":92.1,"schoolId":111471,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Lincoln Hill Early Learning Center on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Lincoln Hill Early Learning Center","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/ohio/office-of-head-start/twin-towers/111471"}
