Magnetic Building Sticks in the Classroom: Connecting Science and Mathematics!

Funded Dec 1, 2020

Pure joy and excitement were the emotions my first graders felt when they used their magnetic building sticks for the first time! The children have loved creating unique structures with this engaging educational toy!

Due to COVID, the children have been using the magnetic sticks daily during the indoor recess playtime. It's been so much fun to see how initially they began with building very simple structures, but have advanced into creating things they are not only 2D, but 3D! This purchase has promoted mathematical and problem solving skills and their minds have been stimulated!

Before the end of the school year, I am planning on integrating the magnetic sticks into our language arts time with having the children write about their creations and share out with their families.

Thank you again for your generosity in supporting the students in my classroom by donating to my project.”
