Piece by Piece: The Use of Floor Puzzles in Pre-K

Help me give my students interactive puzzles to complete that will enhance themes used to teach various skills.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lasonja Hardy's classroom raised $311

This project is fully funded

My Project

I teach twenty four-year-old students apart of a dual classroom. Some students are coming from the local HeadStart program and others from daycare or home.

Help me provide interactive floor puzzles to include with themes taught in my Pre-K class.

These puzzles will provide students with the opportunity to work in small groups, engage in educational conversations about topics taught throughout the day, use critical thinking skills, fine motor, and spatial reasoning. The use of these educational puzzles will also help develop hand-eye coordination, learn math skills such as shapes, patterns, and improve their visual perception and memory.
