In this class, we will continue learning and practicing important skills that are necessary for a successful year in Kindergarten and 1st grade. We will also delve into some language learning as a part of this class. All learners are welcome to join at any time!

Supply List
Students should have access to their Zoom writing tools, paper, pencil, crayons, markers and/or colored pencils, writing pad, board or and/or a notebook. We may also use coins, or various toys or manipulatives for counting, adding, subtracting or just for reference when discussing colors and shapes. Students will be successful and enjoy this class with or without any extra materials but the suggestion is in an effort to increase learning while also keeping students involved with hands-on and interactive activities.

Mrs. Lewshawnda Haywood- I have more than 20 years of experience teaching young learners as well as creating PreK programs for schools. I ran a 4 year old PreK program for a charter school in which students were reading at a 1st grade level by the end of the year. I also founded a private school of my own which included 3 and 4 year old Pre-K students who ended their year not only prepared for Kindergarten but also as confident beginning readers as well.
I have completed post secondary credits in Arabic, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese at North Central University and The University of Minnesota. I have been teaching each of these languages at the beginning level for more than 10 years to students in PreK through 8th grade.
