  • PreK Transportation Unit in Polish and English

    Funded Nov 19, 2022

    Thank you to the generous donors to our PreK Polish and English Transportation Library. We appreciate your support to our literacy project.

    The materials in this project were transportation activity books. The books were written in English and Polish. The students used the books in this project to learn new vocabulary related to our PreK unit of study "Transportation". Each day students were able to read a new word in English and Polish. Then, students were able to color in a picture that related to this new vocabulary word.

    We really appreciate your continued support of our PreK projects !”
