A tisket, a tasket, drop an iPad in our basket! As a teacher whose Kindergarten students to use technology daily, I have no doubt, if we have a class iPad and case, we could utilize it in an effective way to promote the kindergarten skills at hand.
Teaching is something that runs deep in my family.
My mom and godmother both taught at the same school I am now. My sister teaches at a nearby school as well. We all have a great love of teaching and our community. At this time I am a Kindergarten teacher at a Pre K-5th grade school. My hometown is known to be a close area that works together for our students. Parental support is a definite priority in our area. Our local school has around 550 students. I have a fun loving class who embraces learning!
My Project
When I was preparing this proposal, the nursery rhyme "A tisket, a tasket" kept playing through my mind. In this case, my own version would be "a tisket, a tasket, drop an iPad in my basket." Obviously as a teacher, I know the importance of focusing on different student levels. I have no doubt, that the use of an iPad, could assist me with independent iPad centers to increase reading and math skills levels.
Our school has been fortunate enough to gain some technology for the students in the last few years, however, as a group, we know iPads can enhance lessons. As an educator, I would love for the little ones in my classroom to receive an iPad and case. My goal would be to seamlessly integrate skills with technology. With an array of free apps online, I have no doubt, my children and I would benefit from having a tablet in our classroom.
For obvious reasons, additional technology money is not readily available for classroom iPads.
Please know that my students and I would be appreciative of your help in having our own classroom iPad. It would be used for productive lessons to bring the students to a higher level of academic achievement. Can you please help drop an iPad in our Kindergarten basket?
