Materials Provided
At Mindworks, we believe the value of our kits lies in the unique, hands-on learning experiences and intellectual property we provide. Each kit is carefully curated to ensure you have everything you need to successfully complete the lesson activities. However, to keep costs low and maintain flexibility for various learning environments, some standard classroom materials are not included.
Materials Provided by Mindworks:
- All essential materials required to complete the lesson activities
- Specialized or unique items that are not typically found in a standard classroom setting
- Consumables in large quantities if needed for specific activities
- Games or books necessary for the lesson, thoroughly reviewed for age-appropriateness, with any necessary variations or modifications included
- Clear instructions and preparation notes, including reminders to preview materials for appropriateness before use
Materials Not Provided by Mindworks:
- Common classroom supplies such as:
- White construction paper
- Copy paper
- Masking tape
- White glue
- Markers, crayons, colored pencils
- Basic tools or items that are generally accessible to most classrooms or educational settings
- Additional materials that might enhance the lesson but are not essential for completing the activities
Why Some Items Aren’t Included:
Our goal is to keep your costs low and ensure you can easily integrate our lessons into your existing classroom setup. We trust educators to have access to basic supplies and to make adjustments as needed to fit their specific group of students. If a lesson requires a significant quantity of a common material, we will include it in the kit.
Previewing Materials:
For any games or books included in your kit, we recommend previewing them before use to ensure they are suitable for your group. Our guides will prompt you with reminders like:
- “Preview the game cards and remove any inappropriate for your group of students.”
- “Preview the book and select pages most appropriate for your group of students.”
Our team thoroughly previews all games, books, and any cards before they are finalized in the kit. However, we still encourage you to review these materials yourself, as you know your students better than we do and can make the best judgment on what is most appropriate for them.
If you have any questions about what is included in a specific kit, feel free to reach out to our team for more details!
