My Project

Please provide my young students a new way to retell classic stories. Imagine having magna tiles to use as story prompts. Magna tiles are now available in classic stories! We know magna-tiles offer young learners numerous benefits, fostering creativity, spatial awareness, and fine motor skills. Through hands on play, children will solve problems, while learning to work together.

Help my students retell classic children stories, while developing stem skills!

Magna tiles are a popular toy in our room. Extending learning while using these will be a great experience! Please help my students receive the materials needed to help them build and extend their language and stem skills.
