We need a set of iPads to share among the first grade classes so that all of our students have access to educational games and activities. Because many of our students lack access to technology at home, it is important that they have the opportunity to utilize it during the school day. We plan to share these iPads among the five first grade classes in our school. Our students need access to interactive educational apps and games to help improve their reading and math skills and to improve vocabulary and comprehension for English Language Learners. Our school has subscriptions to RazKids and Zearn, which we have seen make a huge difference in our students math and reading abilities.
