Kindergarten Puzzles

Help me give my students puzzles and paintbrushes for choice and art time!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Finneron's classroom raised $170

This project is fully funded

My Students

I have a group of 25 inquisitive kindergartners. Our school is part of an amazing community and we all work together to ensure each student loves learning. I have a diverse group of students ranging in ages from four to six years old.

They love to create, explore, play, and work together.

They are eager to learn and love hands-on experiences. They are energetic and inquisitive and full of wonder. Every day they come to school ready to learn and grow their love of learning.

My Project

Puzzles are a great way to give students a fun learning opportunity! They help children develop basic skills such as concentration, problem-solving skills, and perseverance. They also reinforce skills such as shapes, colors, and positions. These puzzles would be used in a variety of ways in our classroom. They would be a "can-do" option for early finishers in some areas, as well as a choice during our free-choice time. They can be used independently or with a small group of students using teamwork. The paintbrushes will replace older, smaller paintbrushes and be used when we are doing art projects. These materials would help make my students excited to learn and be in school!
