My Project

This project will be a welcomed addition to our peace and brain break area in the Montessori Environment.

Students will be able to work collaboratively to complete a common goal while being able to self regulate and experience some down time in the classroom.

The puzzle table will provide problem solving experiences and independent think time during the school day. Students will be able to work together to complete a common goal which will enhance team building and collaboration. Trial and error will allow students to self correct to feel proud of their accomplishments.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
