One thing that your child should recount to you with total accuracy is our classroom rule about "not giving up." We just don't do it. Today was one of those days where it was tempting to just give up - but with some words of encouragement - there was success. I am talking about this puzzle. Sure it looked really hard when all 26 pieces were spread out on the floor, but with some logical thinking - these two finished it. Although there were many other attempts by friends, these two thought about the order of the alphabet and worked their way from A to Z to complete it. Great job!!!!Stay tuned for more success stories from our room. Puzzles seem to always be the last great obstacle and now that some friends have shown everyone that it isn't impossible, the rest of us will give it a try.
