Puzzling

One Monday morning Mrs. Magee and Mrs. O'Connor put out a huge pile of puzzle pieces. 
From this ridiculous pile, the children are supposed to create 15 smaller word puzzles.  Each piece has part of a picture and one letter of one word.  We gave them minimal instruction and walked away.  Thinking this was a conceptual stretch for the Bunnies, we had very low expectations. But guess what?!  We noticed a number of children floating over to this activity and we saw exciting things!
This photo shows the work in progress and a short while later every puzzle was solved!  Each child just did a little and the next built upon the work of the previous child - sometimes alone and sometimes in duos or trios.  We were surprised and delighted and we will absolutely be doing more of this kind of activity!
