Pre-K
Most Improved ESL Student in PreK is.........Jairo M.!
Jairo has grown so much since September! He came into PreK with limited English language skills and a shy personality. Throughout the school year he has been working so hard to develop his English language skills, his peer friendships and his letter sounds especially when he is writing his Play Plans. He will be entering kindergarten with a love of learning, a vast English vocabulary and a great understanding of letter sounds.
Way to go Jairo! We are so proud of you!
