By using grids to design a map of the United States in a pixelated, video game-style format, students are practicing mathematical skills such as measurement, proportion, and spatial reasoning. Each square they place requires careful attention to alignment and color coordination, reinforcing the idea that precision and detail matter when building a larger picture. At the same time, the project strengthens geographic knowledge, as students become more familiar with the shapes and boundaries of individual states while contributing to a collective map.\r\n Beyond academics, the project highlights the importance of collaboration and ownership. Every student's contribution of squares adds to the overall design, showing how individual effort connects to community success. The finished map becomes more than just an art piece-it is a symbol of teamwork, perseverance, and creativity. Students leave the project with a deeper appreciation for how small actions, when coordinated thoughtfully can create something meaningful and lasting.","fullyFundedDate":1758285378133,"projectUrl":"project/pixel-power-art-meets-video-games/9677477/","projectTitle":"Pixel Power: Art Meets Video Games","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Tallent","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1769001"},{"teacherId":9294115,"projectId":9400675,"letterContent":"Our blended Pre-K classroom has been absolutely loving our new Magna-Tile sets! We've been using them to explore shapes, colors, and building concepts during both center time and small-group activities. The students have been practicing teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity, all while having so much fun.\r\n\r\nOne of my favorite moments was when a group of students worked together to build a \"city\" complete with tall towers, bridges, and even a \"barn for our dinosaurs.\" They were so proud of their creation and spent the rest of the morning adding to it, testing which structures could stand the tallest. It was a wonderful blend of imagination, early engineering, and cooperative play.\r\n\r\nWhen the Magna-Tiles first arrived, the excitement was contagious! The students' eyes lit up as soon as we opened the boxes. They couldn't wait to touch and explore the colorful pieces.\r\n\r\nNext, we'll be using the Magna-Tiles to support our upcoming units on community helpers and transportation. The children will design buildings, vehicles, and maps of their own \"Pre-K town,\" connecting their play to real-world ideas and vocabulary.\r\n\r\nThanks to your generous donations, our students are learning through play in meaningful, hands-on ways every day.
