Mr. Rogers from Rowland Heights CA is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

iPad Mini, Plan B: Things Happen!

My students need an iPad Mini to help replace our antique iPods in our classroom, which are 4 years old and don't run many of the apps we need.

My Students

Who remembers their 4th grade class? Need to know something? Pull out an encyclopedia. How to spell a word? A dictionary, of course. Map a country? Check the atlas. Man, have those days changed!

My students are 4th graders, between 8 and 9 years old, leaving a 3rd grade class of 20 for a 4th grade class of 33.

50% more students cuts down on the amount of attention they received just a few months ago. Now, they can hold a little help in the palm of their hand.

My Project

Why an iPad Mini? Consider the following: Landing Curiosity on Mars, Felix Baumgartner's jump from the edge of space, engaging video, raps learning grade-level vocabulary, Bill Nye the Science Guy lessons, and books on "tape." These are all great ways to learn! I can safely add these items to an iPad Mini for students to hold in the palm of their hand.

I don't have to tell you how tight funds are for schools.

That's what TV and radio are for. Help us make school both productive and engaging. EVERY dollar you contribute makes a difference.
