My Project

My Perfect Puzzle Project. Floor puzzles are a perfectly wonderful tool for working on turn-taking, attention, listening, following directions, vocabulary development, language development, problem-solving, and task completion.

My students love the hands-on multi-sensory learning opportunities that floor puzzles provide.

Whether I work with children individually, in pairs, or in small groups, they love the opportunity to choose engaging floor puzzles. They provide opportunities daily for them to turn-taking, task attention, listen, follow directions, vocabulary development, language development, problem-solving, and task completion. These puzzles are connected directly to our curriculum themes.
