My Project

Help My Pre-K Builders Learn Through Play!

I am seeking generous donors to help me bring magnetic building tiles into my Pre-K classroom!

These hands-on learning tools will spark creativity, strengthen problem-solving skills, and introduce early STEM concepts in a fun and engaging way.

Why Magnetic Tiles?

These versatile tiles encourage open-ended exploration, allowing my little learners to develop spatial awareness, critical thinking, and fine motor skills as they build towers, bridges, and imaginative structures. They also promote teamwork, as students collaborate to bring their ideas to life.

My goal is to foster a love of learning through play while supporting foundational math and science skills. With magnetic tiles, students will explore shapes, patterns, balance, and engineering principles—all while having fun! These tiles will also support social-emotional growth, teaching patience, persistence, and cooperation.

My Pre-K students are curious, creative, and eager to explore the world around them. They learn best through hands-on experiences, and these tiles will provide endless opportunities for discovery. Many of my students may not have access to such learning materials at home, so your donation will make a meaningful difference in their educational journey.

With your support, we can inspire the next generation of thinkers, problem-solvers, and dreamers—one magnetic masterpiece at a time! Thank you for considering a donation to my classroom.
