Bring The Magic of Learning With iPads Back To Us

Help me give my students back their learning with iPads. Before the fire we used ipads daily to create digital portfolios, conduct research, create projects, and learn with apps.

My Students

Each day I am with my students my heart is healing and being filled with joy. My students are resilient and strong. Most of my students lost not only our school, but their homes as well, in the Camp fire. My students are sweet and thoughtful of others. They are empathetic toward one another, and understanding of others situations. We have been relocated to a different school site. We are working on building our classroom again from the ground up.

Even though my students have lost their homes, and their school, they come each day with smiles, happy to be playing and learning together again.

We are working through the healing process together. My students are doing an amazing job getting back into a routine within our new "normal". I am proud to know my students, and am honored to be their teacher -especially during this hard time. I love everything about my students. I am appreciative every day that we all made it out of our old school safe and get to be together each day.

My Project

Having iPads back in our classroom will allow my students to begin putting material in their digital portfolios again. Ipads will also allow my students to get back to independent practice in literacy and math skills using educational apps. My students will be able to use new iPads to research and create projects on the topics we cover each week.

Before the fire my students used our iPads numerous times throughout the day to expand and increase their learning and we want to get back to that.

It will be nice to reintroduce the use of iPad technology and the doors it can open for my students learning.
