My Project

I have many students leaving my preschool classroom and heading to kindergarten. We will be recognizing them with certificates at the end of the year.

I would like to gift each of my kindergarten-bound children with a special book to help with the transition from preschool to kindergarten.

These books will be a reminder of their time in preschool and how much they were loved. They will also help my students to be excited about the transition to kindergarten next year. Each child will get to choose one of the books selected and take it home to keep and read with their family.
