Thank you!! \r\n\r\nMy students also love all of the new coloring books, and I love how many of them are also educational!

I wrote this grant with all of my students in mind—from first grade all the way through sixth grade—and every group has truly enjoyed these engaging resources.\r\n\r\nThe Logic Book Stacking Puzzle has been an instant favorite among my second and third graders. It was a bit of a challenge for my second graders, but they showed amazing perseverance as they continued to try and solve it. I've also shared the younger Logic Puzzle Book with our second-grade teacher, who's using it to reinforce lessons on reading graphs, maps, and ordered pairs on the x-axis.\r\n\r\nFor my older students, these logic puzzles have been a wonderful change of pace. I often focus on a unit in math or English language arts for a few weeks, and then start the morning with a logic puzzle to get their brains in gear. It's a fun and effective way to build critical thinking and problem-solving skills across all grades.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has brought excitement, challenge, and joy into our classrooms.

After the first time we started reading it, one of my students came up to me and said, \"I love this book. The characters are so complex and there are so many interesting thoughts and emotions!\" They beg me to read it and when it's time to stop they beg me to keep reading! I think it's their favorite part of our class time together. \r\n\r\nJacqueline Woodson's characters feel so real and they speak in a way that kids can relate to. I love the way she hints at things to come and how the mystery of each character is slowly revealed throughout the novel. This is an excellent book for teaching point of view and how the narrator's point of view affects how the story is told. \r\n\r\nI am hopeful that this book will help each of my students better understand the many points of view of those around them and that they will carry the lessons of this book with them throughout their lives.
