My school is in a Navy town. We are different from many schools because our students move a lot. This provides a special challenge for teachers to be constantly assessing and differentiating to meet the needs of our ever-changing population. These kids are tough and many spend a few months out of the year with a mom or dad on a deployment.
We have a class of 23 first graders who amaze me every day.
They are constantly learning, growing and developing skills you never thought possible. They are self-motivated and always eager to learn more. They love to move around and have energy levels that could power the whole school. One of the most admirable qualities of my class is their hearts. They are a loving and compassionate group who take care of each other. They look out for one another and are constantly checking to make sure everyone is okay. I will forever cherish this bunch of kind-hearted kiddos who will continue making our school a better place.
My Project
My students are hoping for a small group of tablets to help with projects and sharing ideas. The uses of a tablet in the classroom are endless and can be utilized in every subject area we cover.
These tablets will be used for students to create digital portfolios of their work, create multimedia presentations of new learning and to share ideas using Google Apps for Education.
Tablets offer many advantages that computers can not. The ability to use the tablets' cameras that can take pictures of student work, as well as to record student presentations, will be a huge asset to our classroom.
