My Project

Over my 11 years of teaching TK, I have created a building center that my students love to do. They work at completing different spatial awareness puzzles to complete their building card. When they complete a card the whole class cheers them on! In California, Transitional Kindergarten is changing and soon all kids will be able to go to TK before they go to kindergarten. This means that my students will be getting younger and I will need to add more developmentally appropriate puzzles. The puzzles that I picked out will be perfect for my younger students. These puzzles help students learn spatial awareness, problem-solving, perseverance, self-confidence, and many other things. Thank you for your support!
