This teacher needs your help!

Mrs. Skidmore from CUTLER BAY, FL is requesting computers & tablets through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

I-Write, I-Create, I-Add, I-Pad!

Help me give my students flexible wobble seating and an iPad to access their education. The wobble seating will allow the students to move while they learn while the iPad focuses them on the activity scheduled.

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 Students

I work in a Title I low income school which integrates students on the Autism Spectrum with their able bodied peers. Half of our school children have special needs and more than 90% get free lunch. My K-1 students are low functioning with Autism which makes focusing on schoolwork hard. They have been raised with iPhones and computers and love to use apps to access their education. The little ones love to use a touchscreen to make learning come alive.

I want to help my students with Autism be successful in Kindergarten by emphasizing creative learning using an iPad.

My class needs an iPad, a holder, and replacement insurance so that we can have this important tool for years to come. We need special seating to let the children "shake the willies out." The children will use inventive apps such as Abcya and Touch Math which will let them write and count electronically. The iPad helps immensely because it can be locked on a particular app which prevents them from moving away from the lesson. The available apps are exciting, colorful, musical, and help the children to pay attention to their learning. They will love using their own class iPad!

My Project

These colorful sturdy materials will help my students focus on learning. The flexible bobble seating will help them move their bodies while they stay in their seat! The iPad can be locked on the lesson that is scheduled for that day and the child cannot negotiate to other sites on the Web. If the student wants to use the device they must do the assigned lesson for the set period of time. After the student has done the work they are rewarded with time on an app of their choice.

Flexible seating coupled with a new iPad will be a winning combination which will increase learning by engaging all the students' senses!

These materials will allow me to keep the students on the material they need to learn. The wobble chairs allow the children to move while they learn...a fantastic solution to figeting. The iPad engages the students with laser-like focus so they can learn. The children will love it!
