My Project

My Students:

My class is a PreK special education classroom with students that are so loving, eager to learn and enjoy playing in centers.

Many of my students come from lower income homes.

My Project:

I am asking for puzzles to help my students with their fine motor and problem solving skills. A lot of my students enjoy coming to the table and working on a puzzle during center time. Some of my students will work together on a puzzle to help each other.

I chose various different puzzles that I know my class will love and enjoy!
