My Students
We are a fidgety and curious bunch of eager little learners. We come from diverse backgrounds with a variety of life experiences. Many of us receive free or reduced-price lunch, which is based on our family's low income.
We are always excited to be involved in choice-making and love to contribute to our classroom environment.
We like exploring, asking questions and using our hands to work on projects, experiment with materials, and build structures. We love figuring out how things work and creating new designs.
My Project
My kindergarteners need to be able to sort, tie, connect, and think critically! These puzzles and activity boards are going to help my students manipulate objects with their hands, solve problems, and strengthen their cognitive muscle.
In our project request, you will notice kindergarten friendly brain teasers, block puzzles that create 3D shapes, and boards that help my little learners zip, snap, tie and button.
These items will increase their visual-spatial awareness and help teach patience through trial and error, as well as develop their young minds' ability to think in unconventional ways.
The variety of puzzles listed are fun educational tools that will challenge my young scholars and increase their ability to observe, analyze, and reason. Your donation will help me be able to provide daily engaging learning experiences for my little minds.
