My Students

Help us keep our students engaged and up to date in technology.

If you took a tour through our classroom you would see wonderful little six and seven year old children, engaged in learning.

They are a very diverse group of children. They love to be read to and love any sort of technology I through their way. I use my iPhone with educational apps on it as rewards for students that need extra incentives in their learning.

My Project

I am requesting the help to get an iPad in the classroom. Their is so many educational opportunities that come with these little bundles of joy. They are a great way to engage students in their learning in all subjects. They are also a great behavior management tool, helpful with children who need extra help with fine motor skills, and much more.

This project is so important to me because I really think that it would benefit my students greatly.

The students of today's world LOVE technology and every little bit goes a long way. This would be a great help in the room.
