The moment the box was opened, my kindergarteners gasped and immediately started building. Castles, houses, and towers popped up around the room, and one student proudly shouted, \"Look what I made!\"\r\n\r\nSince then, Magnatiles have become a favorite during both math lessons and free play. Students are learning about shapes, balance, and teamwork while having so much fun they don't even realize they're practicing STEM skills.\r\n\r\nLooking ahead, we'll continue using Magnatiles to connect play with learning. Next month, my students will use them in a STEM challenge where they'll design bridges and test which ones can hold the most weight.
