"I am a transitional first grade teacher in Louisiana. My students come out of Kindergarten but are not developmentally ready for first grade. The extra year they spend with me helps them grow socially and emotionally so they are ready for the rigors of first grade.

Our curriculum is based on hands-on learning. At one of our centers, the children enjoy playing with puzzles. They may not know it but they are helping their hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, mental manipulation, spacial awareness, and physical dexterity. Most of the puzzles we have are pictures. While these are great for developing the above mentioned skills, I feel there are better learning puzzles out there.

I would love for my kids to have access to puzzles that also reinforce reading skills. I have found puzzles that help with alphabetical sequencing, word building, and sight word learning. I feel these valuable tools would take them much further in their learning than the basic picture puzzle.

We would love if you could help us receive these puzzles for our classroom. They would be used over and over for many years. Thank you so much for your consideration. HIDE

My students need puzzles, letter games, and a puzzle storage case.
