Many of my students have no exposure to technology at home. My students need technology to help reinforce our rigorous Kindergarten curriculum. Kindergarten is not what it used to be! We now focus on letter recognition, letter sounds, high frequency words, reading, and writing sentences. In math we focus on counting, number identification, addition, and subtraction. My students will use the iPads to explore and expand upon their skills. The iPads will be used during learning center times throughout the day in all curriculum areas. Your generous donation to our project will improve my Kindergarten classroom by building a stronger reader and writer that will enable students to excel in the 21st century where technology is key. This will change my students' lives for the better by not only teaching technology skills but also by instilling a sense of responsibility and independence.
