Dear Elected Officials
Dear President
Obama and elected officials,
Every day at Lakes & Prairies Head Start we learn lessons that are important in life. In a classroom full of four year olds each of us face daily challenges that provide many opportunities to learn and solve problems. Head Start is happy to share with you some ideas that are very effective in solving problems.
Head Start teaches us to; use our words and work together, remember to take turns (you may not always get to be first), biting, name calling and tantrums are never good. Head Start reminds us that even as a four year old, fair isn’t everybody getting the same thing, fair is everybody getting what they need to be successful.
Thank you for reading our letter. We hope it helps you and your friends remember that we are counting on you to help us get what we need to be successful…..a Head Start.
Sincerely,
The 258 preschool children attending Lakes & Prairies Head Start
