My Project

At our Elementary we work together with our families to make learning fun! We invite families to our school multiple times a year to participate in an evening of literacy-related activities.

We would love for our students and families to join us in a Puzzle Night.

Puzzles promote conversation, allow problem-solving opportunities, and are a great mental exercise.

We would use the requested materials to host the Partners in Print Puzzle Night and allow families to take a puzzle activity book home with them to continue the fun. We would then put the remaining puzzles in our classrooms so that the students could use them with classmates.
