My Project

Several of my students complete their work quickly and often ask, "okay, now what?" They have several options, like reading a book or working on one of our district's computer programs. I would love to give them another option--something more challenging, rewarding, and engaging.

Working on puzzles have many benefits including fine motor skills, critical thinking, problem-solving, and so much more.

Having a workspace in my room where students can put these skills to use is a great way to keep them challenged and motivated. The tray would allow the puzzle to be in a designated space that hopefully would keep it safe.
