Don't Be Puzzled While Learning

My students need one set of 15 story sequencing puzzles, and one of each of the following floor puzzles titled: Children of the World, Ocean Animals, Rain Forest, Animals in the Barn, Bugs, and Numbers. My request also includes a set of Count With Me Magnetic Books that can be used to help students with sequencing as well.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

I teach Kindergarten in a high-need community. Most of my 18 students come from very poor homes and lack experience needed to become successful learners. The majority of my students qualify for free lunch due to their families low income. Additionally, many of my students come to kindergarten speaking very limited English which provides extra challenges for these students.

Due to low family income, many of my students have never had the privilege to play and learn using puzzles either at home or in a preschool setting. I think it is my obligation to provide them with the opportunity to learn using a variety of tools including puzzles.

My students can benefit from learning to sequence stories, solve math problems, and learn about Science using puzzles. I am requesting a rain forest puzzle, numbers puzzle, animals in the barn puzzle, bug puzzle, a set of magnetic math story books which children can use to solve math problems using magnetic animals, and a set of 15 story sequencing puzzles.

Your help will ensure that my students have the opportunities that students in normal middle and high class families come to school with. You can help provide the extra help that my students need to become successful learners and make up for the lost experiences they have had. Thank you in advance to helping me "catch my students up" and help them become successful learners in the ever challenging world in which we live.
