Magna-Tiles: STEM スキルを身につけましょう!

In this class, we will be learning through play while we use magnetic blocks! I have a mix of Picasso tiles and Magnatiles, but any brand of magnetic blocks will do.   We will start by exploring a different STEM topic each week. We will always end the class by building!  As your child creates their own unique masterpiece, we will explore new vocabulary words such as "structure", "foundation", and "transparent vs. translucent".  Join me for this fun and educational STEM class for young children!

week of 4/19/21-- We will explore magnets and use our magna-tiles to make predictions and find magnetic surfaces around our homes.  We will end with free building time.
week of 4/26/21-- We will explore building concepts and talk about building a firm "foundation" and creating a "structure".  We will build houses and towns for our Little People.
week of 5/3/21-- We will explore Spatial Awareness by using words like "next to", "under", and "on top of".  We will build a zoo or farm for our animal figurines.
week of 5/10/21-- We will explore the concept of translcucent vs. tranparent and use a flashlight with our magna-tiles.  We will end the class by building towers with our flashlight inside.
week of 5/17/21-- We will explore ramps.  We will create ramps for our toy cars and experiment with how to make the car go farther. 
week of 5/24/21-- We will practice drawing our creation before we build it.  Let's make a plan!

***This ongoing class will run for six weeks and then it will start over and repeat the same topics***
