My Project

My students love working on puzzles! The tricky part is being able to complete a puzzle in a limited amount of time without losing pieces or having to put away.

Working on puzzles is a great way to reinforce problem solving and allows students to work collaboratively toward a common goal.

Having storage designed especially for puzzles will allow me to set up puzzle stations that can be worked on over multiple visits. Having the drawers to store pieces allows the students to sort pieces and categorize them by colors or other attributes that will help them be successful. Many students come to the library to take a small break from the classroom and a community puzzle station will be a great option for them.
