The new Kanoodle sets, marble run game, and magnetic building blocks have already transformed our classroom. My students use these materials during STEM time, small-group rotations, and problem-solving lessons—and they've brought out incredible creativity and teamwork.\r\n\r\nDuring one activity, students were challenged to build the tallest freestanding tower using magnetic blocks. They planned, tested, rebuilt, and supported each other the entire time. When the tower finally stood, one student shouted, \"We actually did it! We're engineers now!\" Moments like these remind me how powerful hands-on learning can be.\r\n\r\nWhen the materials were first unveiled, the room filled with excitement:\r\n\r\n\"This is the best day ever!\"\r\n\r\n\"Can we start building right now?\"\r\n\r\n\"I've never seen something like this before!\"\r\n\r\nTheir enthusiasm was instant and contagious.\r\n\r\nWhat's next\r\nYour support gave you a small peek into our learning world, and we're excited to share that we're now beginning a project on simple machines. Students will use these materials to design, test, and improve their own creations.
