Learning is Magnetic!

Help me give my students a true class set of magnatiles. We currently have one starter pack that was gifted to us and they absolutely love it, but their creations are limited by our lack of materials.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My class currently has 32 Magna-Tiles to create with and it is truly amazing to see their imaginations at work with such limited materials. While they have learned to share this very popular tool with each other, I want them to create without those limitations. We’ve recently completed a study on buildings and the tiles have given them an incredible outlet to show what they’ve learned while expanding that knowledge. The extra Magna-Tiles would allow them to create freely and the bins will provide a place to store the tiles properly.
