My students with special needs are eager to learn, and you are helping them grow and learn even more. My students continue to build and practice magnetism while having fun with Manga-Tiles. They practice role-play with the magnetic community figures and their new farm animal construction set. I am thrilled when I hear them engaging in conversations, role-playing, and learning vocabulary and social skills. I really enjoy listening to their conversations during their STEM build time. In addition, some of my kindergartners are still learning the ABCs, so their new magnetic letters are making learning a lot of fun. My students are using hands-on activities to enhance memory and develop fine motor skills. \r\nThese materials are essential for my students' learning because they help them develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills in the fascinating world of science, engineering, and math.
