My Students

Hi my pre-k students this year are the sweetest and most lovable children . They help each other in all areas. They are extremely inquisitive and love exploring . I work in a area where the majority of my kids are from shelters. As of now we are on line learning and these parents are logging on and with my support teach their kids every assignment I post . Sometimes they have no supplies but they manage . My little ones are the best listeners when I read to them or teach them.

My Project

I’m on line and one of the activities we’d do daily in pre k is writing letters and their names. At home I heard one child say he didn’t have markers or crayons like at school. I want them to be able to write with the same materials they had in pre k! They loved the writing center. I give them daily writing assignments and I’d think these markers would help tremendously . These materials would help a lot because we write letters of the day daily and names daily.
