My Students

Have you ever dropped your iPad? You know what happens when you drop an iPad!!!

I teach a great bunch of gifted second grade students in the beautiful foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in northeast Georgia.

My students work hard each day to become great thinkers and problem solvers. They challenge me daily to challenge them.

My Project

My students work daily on learning how to become better critical thinkers and problem solvers. We get to do this thanks to the technology we have received through Donors Choose and other grants. Our classroom has several iPads and laptops that we use to learn about coding and robotics. We are currently using our iPads to program Dash and Dot robots and we are working to enter a competition through Wonder Workshop. Our iPads do not have cases and with our second grade hands we can sometimes not be as careful as we should. We don't want to drop our iPads and for them to get damaged, so we need OtterBox Defender iPad cases for our iPads and iPad Minis.

By donating to our project you can help us protect our iPads and iPad Minis.

The OtterBox Defender cases will help our little second grade hands hold on to the iPads more securely and if we happen to drop our iPad, the OtterBox will protect it!
