Help me give my students an Apple (iPad) a day! There are so many great programs that fit our STREAM theme my students like to engage in. Also, using iPads enhances reading fluency with apps through Apple.
Curious, enthusiastic, and creative; my students love learning and challenges. They come in every morning excited about what they are going to learn or be able to work on. Their sense of community and love for one another is evident in how well they work together and share ideas.
Most of my students come from low socio-economic backgrounds and do not get the experiences most other children do outside of school.
I try to provide an environment and opportunities in their learning and their lives so they will continue to be life-long learners and well-rounded members of their communities.
Our school magnet program is STREAM - science, technology, Reading, engineering, arts, and mathematics. The students in my class truly embrace this program and all the potential it holds for them. They look forward to the plans we make for our learning adventures. They value the materials we have to work with as part of their exploration.
We try to make every day positive and fun!
My Project
IPads are a great way to further student learning in an engaging way. There are many apps and programs that enhance our curriculum and student curiosity. iPads are also a great resource when students need extra practice with skills and standards. They will enhance our STEAM theme by having students create, design, investigate, and share their ideas and successes.
I want to see students using the iPads as a go-to resource when they are working on projects or looking to get some skill practice in with an educational game or program.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
