A Mouse Pad makes the different

Help me give my students mouse pads for them to use the mouse better. It is really hard for them to manipulate the mouse with out a mouse pad especially for the kindergarteners.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The mouse pads will make the difference when it comes to teaching them to use the computer, especially with the little kids. They ask me all the time why the mouse is hard to use, or that the touch screen computers are better because they don't have to use the mouse.

I teach grade levels from kindergarten all the way to 5th grade.

Please help me to show them that the mouse is not hard to use. It is just that we need a moues pad. Then they will be able to manipulate the mouse without trouble.

Thank you in advance and hope you can help!
