Happy, sad, scared, angry, silly, worried, surprised are the emotions identified in the activity, with eight (8) different scenarios for students to consider. One page worksheet plus one page answer key is included. Of course, answers are open to interpretation as well.

Why we teach errorless learning Errorless learning is a teaching technique that involves minimizing errors during the learning process by providing learners with prompts or cues to help them avoid making mistakes. This approach is particularly effective with young early learning students because it can help build their confidence and prevent frustration, which can be major barriers to learning. Here are some reasons why it is important for educators to teach errorless learning to young early learning students: Promotes success: Young early learning students who experience success in their learning are more likely to enjoy the process of learning and be motivated to continue. By minimizing errors and providing cues, educators can help students achieve success and build their confidence. Reduces frustration: When young early learning students make mistakes, they can become frustrated and lose interest in learning.

Teaching young learners non-interlocking puzzles is important for a variety of reasons.

By figuring out how the pieces fit together, children develop their spatial awareness, logical reasoning, and attention to detail.

These skills are important for a range of activities, from writing and drawing to sports and other physical activities. Encourages persistence and resilience: Completing a puzzle requires persistence and resilience. Children learn that it takes time and effort to reach a goal, and that mistakes and setbacks are a natural part of the process. These skills can help them in other areas of their lives, such as academic work and extracurricular activities. Fosters a sense of accomplishment: Finishing a puzzle can give young learners a sense of accomplishment and pride. This can boost their self-esteem and confidence, and motivate them to take on other challenges. Provides a fun and engaging learning experience: Non-interlocking puzzles can be a fun and engaging way for young learners to learn new concepts and skills. They offer a hands-on, interactive experience that can capture children's attention and make learning more enjoyable.
