My Project

Our school will be starting a Pre-K class for the 2023-2024 school year. These learning centers will aid our students in self-guided exploration that will directly support their transition into kindergarten. Getting our Pre-K students the support they need to acquire learning-to-learn skills is critical in preparing them for the rigors of kindergarten. The Lakeshore Learning Specimen and Discover sets will allow our young learners to think and wonder about the natural world as they begin their educational journeys. Any help you are able to offer in support of this process will tremendously aid in the social-emotional skill set of these new learners. This is a very exciting time for these young learners and we appreciate you taking the time to support this endeavor. The Lakeshore Family Engagement Language Packs will aid in social skills while supporting the transition into foundational early literacy skills. The Complete Set and LEGO Classic Creative Transparent and Solid Bricks will allow our students to create worlds and retells from stories and imaginations to engage socially with peers and academics.
