Hi! I am the special education teacher in a kindergarten inclusion class in Brooklyn. We are a Title I, early-childhood center. Approximately seventy-five percent of our students receive free lunch. Some of the students in my class have been diagnosed with disabilities such as speech or language disorders and autism. Many of the students in my class have never been to school before. They have started school with basically no pre-reading skills and are expected to be reading as they begin first grade. Kindergarten is such a significant year in a young child's life and I would like to make sure these students will succeed after they have left my class. Practice in problem solving is one way to prepare students for reading. I am asking for a donation of four Early Language Concept Kits from Lakeshore Learning. These kits would provide my students with an opportunity to gain the important problem solving skills needed for reading, including one-to-one correspondence and classification. Each kit comes with activity mats and small manipulatives that the children can use to develop these skills. Please help my students gain the knowledge they will need to begin reading. This donation will certainly build their confidence levels and allow them to succeed as they move to the first grade. Thank you.
