My Project

Hi! I would like to create a space in my classroom in which my students can work cooperatively to put puzzles together. This project would work on spatial visualization skills as well as teamwork.

Young learners learn a lot about spatial visualization through play.

The use of puzzles would be a great way for the kiddos to practice manipulating the pieces to put them together. Looking for patterns, grouping like colored pieces together and following the picture to create the puzzle. My hope is that the use of the puzzles will also foster teamwork and a love of working together!
