My Project

I absolutely love my students' curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. They bring a unique energy to the classroom, always eager to explore new concepts and engage in hands-on activities. Their diverse perspectives and collaborative spirit make every lesson an exciting journey of discovery.

Magna-Tiles will be an invaluable resource in our classroom.

For small group phonics lessons, these tiles can be used to build letter and word structures, making abstract concepts tangible and interactive. Students can manipulate the tiles to form words, enhancing their understanding of phonics through a multisensory approach. This hands-on experience will help reinforce letter-sound relationships and improve their spelling skills. In our project-based learning activities, Magna-Tiles will foster creativity and critical thinking. Students can use them to design and construct models related to various STEAM projects, such as building bridges, creating geometric shapes, or even designing simple machines. This will not only enhance their understanding of scientific and mathematical principles but also encourage teamwork and problem-solving skills.

By incorporating Magna-Tiles into our lessons, we can create a dynamic and engaging learning environment where students feel empowered to explore, create, and learn. These resources will help bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, making learning both fun and meaningful for my students.
