My name i s Dante!

• I am 4 years old.• I sometimes get very angry

and don’t know why, but I can always talk to Ms. Shaquita, my teacher. She always has a warm hug and a smile. Her love and support helps me make better choices.

My name i s Ami ra!

• I am 18 months old.• I like to play at the water

table during playtime.

• When I’m splashing water on my teachers and classmates, I am learning about the world around me.

My name i s Jami la!

• I am 7½ months old.• I like it when my teacher

reads to me. I always smile when she’s reading. Does she know I’m happy when I wave my hands?

• I am 2½ years old.• I liked our trip to the petting

zoo because I touched so many different animals. I didn’t know that the sheep would feel so different from the miniature horse. I was a little scared at first, but Ms. Joyce went with me.

My name i s Kwame!

shelter last night and I did not get enough sleep, I may need Ms. Morgan’s help in getting along with my friends. She comforts me and helps me have a good day.
