The puzzles have already had such an impact on my classroom. When I introduced the project to my class, my students couldn't wait to use the puzzles. They were given time to explore and the conversations, teamwork and problem-solving that are being demonstrated is nothing short of amazing. \r\n\r\nMy students are so excited to use the puzzles and they have quickly become a favorite activity when work is finished. Students who might not always interact during other parts of the day are now sitting together, conversing and sharing strategies for completing the puzzle. My heart is full to see this kind of collaboration in a first grade classroom. \r\n\r\nThis project has given us a meaningful way to build patience, persistence and a collaborative spirit while also giving students a calm, hand-on choice once classwork has been completed. \r\n\r\nYour generosity has truly enriched our classroom. We are so grateful for your donation and the joy that it is bringing to our students.","fullyFundedDate":1756404227341,"projectUrl":"project/piecing-together-brilliance/9594283/","projectTitle":"Piecing Together Brilliance!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Sowinski","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp1243874_orig.jpg?crop=2316,2316,x0,y772&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1755177594080","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/1243874"},{"teacherId":4495576,"projectId":8483513,"letterContent":"The new kitchen set and accessories for my kindergarten classroom has provided hours of endless fun and social interaction this school year!
