Floor Puzzles for Life Skills!

Help me give my students floor puzzles to keep them engaged during the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Moore's classroom raised $206

My Students

Our students here at my school are eager and willing to learn! We teach at a low-income school with almost the entire school population receiving free or reduced-price lunches. They have the biggest hearts but sometimes do not show it in the best of ways. Our students do work hard and are super excited to learn and to grow. They come to school to be loved and we are here to do just that! We also strive to give them the best education by finding a lot of different ways to teach and to learn. I also think that these students deserve more than they have, which is why I chose to work and stay here!

My Project

At our school, we have a life skills classroom that needs more resources for all ages. We have several students that are drawn to puzzles and love to see them come out. However, some puzzles are destroyed or too old to play with and we have no replacements.

With your donation of these floor puzzles, the students will have more floor puzzles from ABCs, 123s, and different themes.

Puzzles develop your child's problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, both crucial for mastery of other skills later in life. Puzzles can also help children with pattern recognition, memory, and both gross and fine motor skills.
