Mrs. Rathert from Walnut Creek CA is requesting computers & tablets through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

I Learn with iPads

My students need refurbished iPads to help with reading, writing, math, and more. Three sets of headphones will let students listen to stories and dictate them as well.

My Students

My classroom is made up of amazing students from amazing families. In our room, you will see students of all colors and nationalities and hear them speaking several different languages. Our school serves Title 1 students as well as many English Learners from all over the world and students with special needs. We are located in an upper-middle-class neighborhood in the East Bay, but serve kids from all socioeconomic levels. However, no matter what they have or where they come from, they all deserve a chance to learn and be their best.

My Project

iPads will allow my class to work on many subjects in many ways.

iPads and headphones will allow my students to work on different challenges and subjects individually.

Students with fine motor issues can dictate a story with the microphone headphones.

Students can practice their Math online to improve their understanding of concepts, or challenge them with a new concept. My English Learners can listen to stories on the iPads. Students can use drawing apps to create artwork to accompany their stories.

The iPads can help students improve their skills, or challenge them with more complex ideas, no matter what subject or level they are working on.
