Puzzles for Little Hands

Funded Sep 25, 2024

Thank you so much for your wonderful donation and making this project possible for my Kinder students. I shared the news with them once it was granted and explained that we would be receiving new puzzles to enhance our manipulative center. Over the course of two weeks all the boxes arrived. As a class we voted on which bookshelf would house all the new puzzles and which monitors would take turns in keeping them organized. It was amazing to see and hear these young children problem solve and create a schedule with some teacher guidance.

I purposely selected puzzles that described children with different abilities and a variety of mood & emotions which added new themes that had not been previously found in our manipulative center. In addition to the many benefits that working with puzzles provides for young children, the new themes also made for great conversations about students with different abilities, some of the students were also able to make connections due to experiences within their own families.”
