My Project

My Pre-K students are curious, energetic and eager to learn through hands-on experiences. At this age, learning through play is one of the most effective ways for children to build confidence and develop foundational academic skills.

The puzzles in this project will provide engaging opportunities for students to strengthen critical thinking and perserverance while having fun.

As students manipulate puzzle pieces, they will improve fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination that are essential for writing and other classroom tasks.

In addition, these resources will promote collaboration and communication as students work together to solve puzzles, share ideas, and celebrate success.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
