What About An Apple For The Class?

My students need a laptop to research and load all of their current audio books, songs, and apps on.

My Students

"How long is it going to take for you to get these things working?" We have been blessed to have Tag readers, audio books, and iPod Nanos donated to our classroom but now we have a problem. Our desktop computers at school have virtually no memory!

My Kindergarten students attend an urban charter school which is in its first year and lacking supplies.

My 19 students are eager to learn and enjoy every minute of their time here at school. I would love to supply them with as much enrichment as possible.

My Project

Studies show that there is a 30-million-word deficit in young students who come from high poverty areas. We have been blessed by many projects that bring technology into our room. The only problem we are having is loading all the necessary things onto a computer. Our computers at school are lacking memory or simply do not work. With this Apple laptop my students' Tag readers, iPod Nanos, audio stories, and songs could easily be accessed and uploaded onto their tools without any problems. Any step to bridge this gap is a step in the right direction! Will you help?

Your donation would make it possible for my students to develop the skills necessary to succeed.

Your help will give each one of my students the chance for a solid foundation! This laptop will bring excitement to their learning and will give my students the experience they so desperately need!
