My Project

My students are capable of amazing things. They are creative, persistent, and willing to take risks within our classroom. Kindergarten is a time for exploration, imaginative play, and tremendous academic growth. We spend time everyday exploring different concepts. Our classroom has grown in kindness, persistence and collaborative skills. They enjoy working with their peers and learning new skills.

Kindergarten is where students learn to problem solve, persevere, and work collaboratively with their peers.

These puzzles will provide my class with an opportunity to practice their social skills with their peers. They will also be working on their problem solving skills while working collaboratively with others in the class. The TPT gift card will allow me to purchase more puzzles that can be printed and laminated for independent seat work.
