My Project

I love working with my VE Pre-K kids. Every day is a new day, and we never know what is in store for us. All our students are at various levels in their educational journey.

We are in need of lamination sheets to keep our students' drawings safe and improve our writing center with busy books that will help develop pre-writing and drawing skills by using a wide variety of tools.

The Writing Center will increase complex and varied vocabulary, grammar, and syntax in conversations and storytelling by communicating their ideas through drawing and through print.
