Let's Build!

Funded Dec 31, 2017

The children and I were so excited to receive our large box of Magnetic Building Tiles through your generous contribution. The children helped me to open the box and were eager to see what was inside. When they saw the magnetic building tiles, they wanted to play with them immediately. The magnetic building tiles are very inviting as they are in different transparent colors and shapes. Several tiles also have wheels so the children can experiment making vehicles.

These new tiles were placed in our construction area of the classroom. In this area, students are now building pet homes. Children have studied different types pets and their homes through our purposeful play learning scenario. Using these tiles, they have used their imagination to create stables for horses, cages for cats, and aquariums for their goldfish.

I was so glad to have my Donors Choose project funded. The magnet tiles can be used for a variety of play options since the materials are open ended allowing them to be used in multiple ways. I am grateful for these new materials to add something special to my classroom environment. In addition, it reinforces their learning regarding colors, shapes, and 3-D shapes.

Thank you again for your kindness.
