My Project

Our school is a PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) school and I am always looking for ways to reward my students. I would love for my students to be able to purchase apps and children's songs through the App store and iTunes for my kindergarteners to have and utilize on their iPads as a reward for their positive behavior, hard work, and excellence. I am always looking for ways to motivate and reward my students in a way that enhances their learning experience. High-quality apps would be excellent rewards. I would allow them to select apps from a pre-approved list. Most of the quality apps for sight words, phonics, math concepts/skills, science concepts, learning games, etc. cost a few dollars and must be purchased individually for each iPad. I have been downloading free apps yet they are burdened with ads and frequently prompt for purchases.

Hundreds of apps on the iPads would lead to interactive learning from interactive apps like EPIC, Teach Your Monster to Read, Prodigy, Letter School, and so many more to reinforce concepts/skills in math, science, and language arts.

These would be very helpful for my English language learning newcomers who have limited language and need engaging learning opportunities.

There are also a variety of apps and songs to help with addressing social-emotional learning for young children. The gift card would help me build up a good library of engaging apps and songs for a broader learning experience!
