My Project

My active TK and Kindergarten students become focused, innovative, and collaborative problem solvers when doing hands on learning activities.

Adding magna tiles and magnetic builders to our small group learning stations will help my eager young learners deepen their understanding of geometry.

Our students explore geometric concepts as they use some triangles to make squares, other triangles to make rectangles, and make magnificent 3D structures using 2D shapes. They learn the importance of working together to build with only a limited number of shapes. They plan, talk math, and create.
