I have one wooden puzzle in my room, and my students race to work on it during work places. I have seen them grow in their communication skills while solving this puzzle, and I want to provide them with a variety of puzzles so that everyone can experience success. So many of my students have never put a puzzle together before they are in my room, and they light up at the challenge. These puzzles will be loved by all students in my room. I have noticed that when my students work on the puzzle we have, it levels the playing field. My highest students and my learners that struggle the most work cooperatively to meet the same goal.
