My Project
Hello donors.
I have created a project to empower my 20 first-grade students.
In this project, I have added an iPad for my first-grade students. In first grade, we learn a lot about being independent by doing things on our own.
In first grade, we are learning how to read and to take Accelerated Reader tests.
There are many times throughout the day when my students want to take AR tests with an iPad; my students will be able to take AR tests whenever they have an opportunity. This will create healthy habits of taking the initiative and doing things independently.
Many students do not have access to an iPad at home. The iPad will be an incentive. It will motivate students to read a book and take a test on it to be able to use the iPad.
More than half of 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
