My Students

Our Norfolk, Virginia Pre-K students are amazing and resilient! We are located in a dedicated military town. All students have risk factors that qualify them for our program. I see the sparkle in their eyes when they log in to the computer. Distance teaching is challenging, but with hands-on materials, we can help them thrive!

My Project

Our Pre-K class needs a front-facing bookstand. This particular bookstand has storage space for two washable baskets.

Having a front-facing bookstand will motivate students to investigate books that will be displayed in an inviting way.

The storage space below the book display area is the perfect place for puppets! Puppets and books just go together! Students will be able to role play storylines from the books we read using the puppets and books available. Students may also want to create their own stories using the books and puppets as inspiration! This literacy center is will help our students develop their language skills and a love for reading!
