My Project

My students face several challenges through out their lives. They live in an area that is very small and they come from backgrounds of economic hardships.

Having these materials gives them a chance to piece together the information they are learning, they get hands-on and visual confirmation.

My students do not get the opportunities to go to different places and experience things.

We learn a lot of harder concepts in the early grades and need these puzzles to help us connect the dots, to go from the abstract to the concrete.
