My Students

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." Dr. Seuss and myself have something in common. We both believe reading is an essential part to a learning child. In my classroom children are welcomed where they are and encouraged to grow.

I have the amazing opportunity to teach 23 second grade children.

They all come to school with various abilities, experiences and cultural backgrounds. Some students have lived in other countries while others have English as a second language! They each bring diverse ideas and contribute to our class each day. Ipads in the classroom would help engage students in a variety of tasks and promote student success through the use of technology.

My Project

Our classroom currently has no iPad minis for student use. There are many apps that would greatly benefit student learning. My classroom usually begins with a whole group lesson in both reading and math. After the lesson students are typically in small group of three or four students. The addition of two iPad minis will enable student led stations to run more efficiently and consistently. Technology use in the classroom would provide enrichment, remediation and structural assistance in English. With the mobility of iPad minis, student use and engagement will be at a maximum.

This project will get my students using technology in a variety of ways.

It will excite them to learn, discovery, innovate and grow as a 21st century learner. The addition of two iPad minis would integrate technology in small groups during literacy and math and would prepare all my students for their future.
