Through Donors Choose/"Let's Build" , I would like to acquire magnet-tiles for my students to use collaboratively during our purposeful play centers. My purposeful play supports executive function skills by engaging students with new and exciting opportunities to explore, design, and develop their background knowledge of their community. I would like my students to use the magnet tiles to work together to build their neighborhood including hospitals, stores, schools, houses etc. Using their imagination with the magnetic tiles, they will construct while learning about shapes, 3D shapes, color, balance, size, and the science of how magnets work while improving focus and stamina.
