My Students

Reading, writing, and math do not come easy to all learners. Some students really struggle to learn reading and writing, due to their own specific learning needs. A fun and exciting way to learn would give them the confidence and motivation the need to be successful!

We have an amazing group of students and these Leap Pads would prove extra enrichment and fun for our students to enjoy learning basic skills of reading, math, and writing.

There are also games that provide critical thinking skills for those of our students who need an extra challenge. The Leap Pads have specific writing tasks and games that will inspire the students to become genuine writers. Leap pads allow our students to enjoy learning while gaining the skills needed to be independent and successful learners.

My Project

This technology will allow our students not only enrichment, but fun and excitement to areas of learning that may not always be easy. These Leap Pads would provide them with a chance to work together to encourage each other to go above and beyond what they may think they can do. Together, our students know they are a family and we all work together to provide each other with a safe, fun, and successful learning experience!

With our wide range of students in our inclusion classroom, these Leap Pads will enrich those who need a challenge as well as those who need a little extra help.

Together all the students will benefit from this fun and exciting way of learning!
