Children learn through play. They are active learners. What they need are hands-on materials and the technology to help them in their school environment. The materials like Create-A-Path Magnetic Center and the Stand-Up Magnetic Write & Wipe Center will help them become better mathematicians, writers, scientists, and explorers. We need our children to learn and feel successful in their learning. Many of the manipulatives are geared towards math and science. I want to ensure that they have a solid foundation in STEM before they graduate to Kindergarten. Without a solid foundation of basic understanding of important concepts, it will be difficult to learn new concepts as it gets harder. Every child deserves equal access and opportunity to the road to success.
