My students need organization tools for our classroom library! iPad minis to maintain a database and check-out systems and baskets to keep everything in order!
My students are an incredibly lively group of third graders that love to learn and work together. We are a Title I school in Mililani, Hawaii where families learn and grow generation after generation.
I teach at an amazing school that is the heart of the local community.
Our students come from a variety of different economic backgrounds with 49% of our students receiving free or reduced lunch. Our students are also incredibly diverse in their academics. We continue to strive to improve our students’ academic achievement while also emphasizing the importance of developing good character.
My Project
We've got books... Now we need to organize! There is something to be said for a well organized space and, unfortunately, the library in our classroom is less than stellar. We literally have hundreds of books in our classroom, yet many students still have a hard time finding something that they like or are interested in. I attribute this to the fact that we need help!
An organized library would make finding the perfect book so much easier for students.
We need new baskets to sort and store our books and we need two iPad minis to catalog and barcode our library and to help keep track of what book is where. We also need two cases to keep the iPad minis safe. The iPad minis would also be used for literacy games and assessments.
