My Students

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." -- Benjamin Franklin said, and my goal is to have children interact with technology to make learning fun and engaging.

My students are kindergarten children ages 5-6.

We are a small school in a suburban California community. The children in my class come to school with many of the skills necessary to be successful learners. They are eager learners and often want to go the extra mile to learn.

My Project

I am so excited about implementing Common Core for language arts and math. The iPads will allow me to pair students or have students work in small groups to work on age specific content at their individual academic levels. Today's technology not only makes learning fun but allows for children's work to actually come to life.

Children love technology.

It is their world. It engages and motivates them. I would love 2 iPads with OtterBox protective cases for my classroom, to foster a love for learning while giving my students the opportunity to use technology.
