Magnets and Floor Cushions

Help me give my students the fumet floor cushions which will be a comfortable and engaging spot to sit on the floor for STEM tasks that require more space, such as magnetiles that they all really enjoy.

My Project

The floor cushions will help students spread out their STEM activities on the floor. The prek and kindergarten students I teach sometimes struggle to use materials on the stools at the lab tables in my classroom. The cushions will give them an opportunity to be more engaged in their activities.

The magnetiles are a favorite of the STEM lab.

The students are often limited on how often they can participate and use some of the materials. This refresh will allow many more students to use some of their favorite materials more often.
