This transcended into printing using other writing devices. I decided to implement this in my own Kindergarten classroom for both my students with varying learning needs and specific challenges and realized just how successful it was for all. With the success of the basic name puzzle and the chalkboard base, came the idea of the full alphabet and number board with the chalkboard base, indented space and tracers. \u00a0Our prototype was successfully implemented and with it, came the realization of the need to continue to reach the learning needs of many more students and children.<\/p>\n<span class=\"usp-meta-img-5\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-04_61fd7a2f1f846_boys.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/span>\n<span class=\"usp-meta-img-3\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-04_61fd7a2f1f7e0_lifewith_bisma_photo5.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/span>\n<p>We are excited to share our Chalkboard Based Puzzles with you!\u00a0 They are one-of-a-kind and you won&#8217;t find them anywhere else except right here in Stouffville Ontario!!<\/p>\n<span class=\"usp-meta-img-4\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-04_61fd7a2f1f815_wakeupeatthis_photo.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/span>\n<p>&#8220;Bridging the gap between early literacy\/numeracy and early development but also between children with special needs and mainstream learners&#8221;\u00a0 LETS PLAY AND LEARN!<\/p>\n<p>Christina Collura (Stouffville, ON)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One simple idea to help my son, who had fine motor difficulties, turned into a product\/products that are benefiting many children, many learning styles and needs.\u00a0 We were recently featured [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3317,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":[],"_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3316"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3316"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3316\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3316"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3316"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/discoverstouffville.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3316"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
