My Project

We are blessed to be a 1:1 district with iPads in Elementary school! The students have been beautifully navigating typing, designing, and creating on their iPads. For the library, we would like to take that a step forward with pencils for the iPads. Sometimes, a finger just isn't enough when you are creating or collaborating with others. The pencils for the iPad will aid students in navigating creativity better in relationships to projects. The library has many projects that require research and drawing or even labeling of parts. These pencils will give students the opportunity to fine-tune their work and improve their creative product, fueling their success and pride in their work.

Not only will these pencils benefit the students in the library, but teachers will be able to borrow them as a class set if needed to support their students in learning in the class.

From art to working math problems out in notes, to brainstorming, these pencils will increase productivity and creativity in our building. Thank you for your consideration!
