This project is fully funded

My Students

I have a class full of kindergarten students!

Many of my students did not attend preschool and are experiencing a school setting for the first time.

They would love to have some fun literacy and math puzzles to practice skills we are learning in class.

My Project

My students absolutely love putting together puzzles! We had a class project fund earlier this school year for some regular puzzles that students use during our daily play centers. Those puzzles were such a hit that I decided to post a new project with some learning puzzles. Students will use these new skill-based learning puzzles during literacy and math stations.

Students will piece together their knowledge by putting together the puzzle pieces.

This project will provide my students with 6 literacy puzzles and 4 math puzzles. The literacy puzzles will be used for students to practice alphabet, spelling 3 and 4 letter words, and rhyming. The math puzzles will be used for students to practice counting, ordering numbers, addition, and subtraction.
