My Project
I have created this project to fill a much needed gap in our curriculum. What to do when we don't have anything else to do. There are times in the normal day whether you are between lessons, dealing with testing in other classes that take all day, or just need a quick brain break from the current lesson. This is valuable time where the students can still learn but want to learn in a different way.
Please help our classroom by giving to this project to provide a wide arrange of floor puzzles to help us improve motor skills and increase our cognitive development all while having a little fun!
This is a special needs classroom and we use things like this all the time especially when a child is overstimulated and needs an individual activity that they can do to cool down in our "calm corner."
