My Students

Help us learn! Please help my kindergarten students learn by using the Leapfrog Leap Pads to reinforce reading, writing, and math skills.

My kindergarten students are energetic and love to learn.

They are excited to learn new things and are gaining the skills needed to be lifelong learners. There is a high rate of poverty in our school district, which puts these students at risk. Reading, writing and math skills are an important part of education and any support and supplementation would enhance our students' performances.

My Project

My kindergarten students need constant exposure to materials that will increase their kindergarten readiness skills. They are learning through hands-on exploration and the opportunity to utilize materials in the classroom. The Leapfrog Leap Pads will allow them to use technology as a learning tool. I try to teach to all the modalities of learning. The Leapfrog Leap Pad will be another great resource for students coming into kindergarten with a little or no technology exposure. The Leapfrog Leap Pads will increase student knowledge in reading, writing, and math. Thank you for helping my students acquire these great skills and concepts! Your generous donation would benefit our students due to the lack of local funds and state funding.

Please support my kindergarten students, as they are engaged in learning using the Leapfrog Leap Pads.

Students would learn to work cooperatively as they take turns and share the materials. Students would be completely engaged in learning and having fun at the same time developing fine motor skills and acquiring reading, writing, and math skills. Please help support this wonderful opportunity for learning.
