Mrs. Venosdale's Classroom
Welcome to our classroom blog. It is called Spinning Gears because that represents our classroom: constantly in motion, thinking, moving, and learning. We are like gears because we work together to keep things going smoothly! We hope you enjoy reading about our classroom learning experiences and will stop by again!

puzzleAs the year winds down, we found ourselves trying out a “Bull’s Eye Letter” Puzzle today! The trick to this is finding out what the letter is that goes in the center. This letter, when put with the other 3 letters in each section of the wheel will unscramble to create a common word.

Mrs. Venosdale discovered these fun puzzles in Brain Boosters (pennydellpuzzles.com)
and after we solved the letter for today, we made our own!

Mrs. Venosdale created a template in SMART Notebook and students worked to create their own “Bull’s Eye Letter” like the one posted above! We found out one thing… it is far easier to create these puzzles than to solve them!
