Mrs. Hughes from Fort Myers FL is requesting computers & tablets through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

iPads, iPads, We Need iPads!

My students need iPads in the classroom to help reach their reading and math instructional software goals.

My Students

My students are very special to me. They may be small but they have some of the biggest hearts I've ever seen. They know how to share and are very concerned about not hurting each other's feelings. They have grown this year into leaders that take responsibility for their actions. I am blessed to be looping with them next year so I can continue to mold them into the lovable children they have become. They always have a smile !!

My Project

I am trying to utilize more technology in my classroom by using I-pads. I only have a limited amount of laptops in the classrooms and it is impossible to get the students on their instructional software every day when you do not have enough supplies to go around. My students need 60 minutes of math and reading support daily, and when you have 20 students in a classroom, it is impossible to do this on just 4 computers. I am looking to get 4 if possible. They need to meet their goals, and this could make it happen for them.
