This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Help my students to express themselves while learning.
My students are in kindergarten or first grade and are special needs students.
Many of them have trouble with fine motor skills so a lot of activities are difficult for them to do but they love technology. One of the big rewards in my classroom is for my students to get to play a game on my iphone but the screen is so small. There are so many resources available for ipads that could help my students to communicate and experience the world around them. An ipad would help them in so many ways with fine motor skills, reading, math and communication skills.
My Project
I am asking for an ipad for my classroom to help my students with all the skills that they are trying to master. Because an ipad is "fun" they will work hard at playing the games so they will be working on fine motor skills. There are games which will help them to practice communicating which several of my students have trouble with. There is also reading and math games to be played on the ipad. It would be a wonderful tool for my classroom to use.
It would mean so much to my students to be able to have a great multipurpose tool such as an ipad in our classroom and would make such a difference in several small children's' school lives.
