Title - Another Version of Class Puzzle
By - Kathy Roy
Primary Subject - Other
Secondary Subjects - Art, Language Arts
Grade Level - K-6

For the Teacher:
Prepare large letters for your bulletin board that spell out your grade.

Cut the letters into the same number of pieces as you have class members. I include myself and count a few extra in case of new arrivals. On the back of each puzzle piece I write the letter from which it came and a small arrow indicating which way is up. For example: GRADE THREE would have each letter divided into 3 parts so that a class of 30 including the teacher could have a piece.

For the students: Have students decorate their puzzle piece with things about themselves: name, hobbies, favourite food, number of people in family, pets, favourite colour, favourite subject, etc. When the puzzle pieces are finished we have a "talking time" to tell the class about our piece and the teacher adds it to the bulletin board. Any blank pieces can be put up and taken down for new arrivals to complete. This bulletin board stays up all year and shows that each person is an important part of the class because we couldn't be GRADE THREE without YOU!
