My Students

My students come to school every day excited to learn. They are smart, curious, creative, and hardworking. They love to read, love to explore, and love to learn new things.

Many of my students come from low-income households and do not have access to educational materials or preschool prior to beginning kindergarten.

Our goal is to have students reading, writing, adding, and subtracting by the time they leave kindergarten. As their teacher, my goal is to provide my students with the love, support, knowledge, and resources they need to be successful.

My Project

The students in my class can use this interactive technology to help develop a wide range of skills that can help them in school and beyond. Students can use an application that can help them with their letter recognition and letter sounds, number recognition, addition and subtraction, and reading fluency. The iPad will allow a new and exciting way for my students to learn. This project is important because technology is the way of the future and children should be exposed to current technology. With increasing class sizes, technology can also be an aid for teachers. Technology can benefit students and teachers and prepare our students for a bright future!
