The Magnetic Activity Center has endless possibilities. The activity center can give my students the ability to explore math and science. They can use the gears to problem solve. Students and also make predictions by seeing what other materials are magnetic. The magnetic boards also serve as a way to explore literacy. They can use magnet letters to spell their names or match letters. Children often find it difficult to express their feeling because they are just learning what feelings are. Puppets and dolls help them to explore these feelings. They use them as ways to communicate their feelings and tell you what made them feel this way. They can also problem solve difficult social problems like sharing.
