My Students

I teach around 22 second graders at my school. We are currently 1:1 using Apple iPads. My students are working very hard on preparing themselves for the end of the year outcomes and what is to be expected of them in the following grades. This last year I decided to add more fun learning items to my reading centers. My students were absolutely in love. They loved the STEM bins I created, the online resources I found to make learning more fun, and the OSMO kits I bought. By trying different ways to enhance learning I have found my students to be more enthusiastic and creative with their learning. My students are fearless when it comes to technology. By showing them different ways to learn they are able to be better prepared for the world around them.

My Project

The materials I am requesting are iPads for my classroom. I have introduced OSMO to my students this past year and they love it! The problem is more teachers are catching on to this and are wanting to use the iPads as well from the library. I am wanting to get my own so that I am able to keep them in my room all year and use them in different ways during my center times for ELA and Math.

I have also noticed that the iPads we use are old and slower.

By getting new ones we are hoping they will be faster. I also would like for the students to create accounts on the OSMO and by having our own iPads in the classroom that would help.
