Sylvie Williams has worked really hard attending any and all zoom meeting I have provided. I’m very proud of the progress she has made academically. Her outgoing personality has made the Zoom meetings fun and interactive for all of us. Sylvie has shown great achievements with writing her first and last name along with many letters of the alphabet. Sylvie is also very artistic. I also love her dance moves when we have Zoom dance parties.

Vincent Rivera has shown boundless dedication in all the work he completes with great determination to complete new tasks. Vincent has become our scientist and loves to watch the outcome of our science activities. Vincent enjoys nature he was very excited to show off his magic bean growing. Vincent created a bird feeder from recycled items and was beyond excited to have a bird visit the feeder.

Layriya Beaver worked hard as one of my younger students attending Zoom. Layriya would love to get on Zoom and tell me what’s going on in her life. She was always very talkative sharing her experiences with me. Layriya would try her hardest when working on zoom from letter making to forming shapes. I’m happy to see her progress. Laryriya enjoys doing crafts and Zoom dance parties with her favorite stuffed animal.

This year in Head Start we faced many different obstacles with introducing our students to a virtual learning world. I’m proud of all my students and families for their hard work and dedication. I have a few families that I would like to recognize that went above and beyond. Mrs. Heather, Head Start 2
