Classroom puzzles can offer so many benefits to my students. I would love to see students improving their skills of resilience and perseverance which will absolutely translate to their academics. Students don't always have the chance to practice problem solving skills and critical thinking outside of the classroom, this will offer them that exposure.

Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 80

Thanks to your generous grant, our students now have access to a wide range of engaging logic puzzles that are transforming the way they think, learn, and collaborate.

These resources are more than just games—they’re powerful tools that promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and perseverance. Students are now regularly challenged to think outside the box, work through complex problems, and support one another in finding creative solutions.

Teachers have seen a noticeable boost in student engagement and enthusiasm, especially during math and enrichment periods. The puzzles have sparked curiosity and built confidence, especially in students who may not have always felt strong in traditional academic settings.

Your support has helped create an environment where learning is active, minds are stimulated, and every success—no matter how small—builds momentum for future growth. On behalf of our students and educators, thank you for investing in tools that inspire deeper learning and lifelong skills.

Your generosity is truly making a difference—one puzzle at a time.

What will be done with my students

There are so many types of puzzles out there today! We can use them in Language Arts to build vocabulary. In Social Studies they can take their skills to the next level by working on map puzzles and historical timeline puzzles. Even in science students can build 3d models to correlate with our unit of study!

Just as importantly, all students just need a brain break sometimes, puzzles would allow them to continue to listen to instruction while being able to forget about whatever stress they have from outside the classroom for a few minutes.
