When students first saw the puzzles they were so excited!! The puzzles not only served as a huge motivator it also helped foster their growth in many areas.\r\nFirst grade is a year of huge growth for many students. They not only strengthen reading and writing skills, they learn to become more independent. Upon seeing the puzzles, the students were elated! They kept asking, \"Can I do puzzles?\" For those students who struggled to complete their work on time, the puzzles motivated them to focus more and complete their assigned task (so that they could then use the puzzles).\r\nStudents also strengthened their cooperative learning skills. They worked together to complete the puzzles and shared a common sense of accomplishment when they found pieces that went together. \r\nFor the new language learners, these puzzles were especially helpful in fostering growth of new vocabulary and building confidence. \r\nMany students also showed significant gains in sounding out basic C-V-C words. Thank you very much for your donation toward this project. It has had a profound impact on my classroom!","fullyFundedDate":1743696813147,"projectUrl":"project/learning-through-puzzles/9215956/","projectTitle":"Learning Through Puzzles","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Dunne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9986235"},{"teacherId":1113258,"projectId":9041051,"letterContent":"The students in our classroom got so excited to get their brand new rug that we even played a game with the numbers\r\n Students are loving the opportunity during small group work to come to the front sit comfortable and warm on a rug and be able to use their lap desk and practice with their place value chart students are really taking ownership of their learning and are really enjoying the new materials and new space that we've created. \r\n\r\nTheir excitement Smiles, jumping up and down and screaming really spoke volumes to how happy they are.
