My Project
I love how my students persevere despite the circumstances they have been placed in. Their determination to grow—academically, emotionally, and socially—inspires me every day. They come to school ready to learn, improve, and support one another, no matter the obstacles.
iPads will open new doors for them by providing access to personalized learning tools, interactive reading and math apps, opportunities to express their creativity, world experiences and technological advancements.
My first graders are naturally curious and fearless with technology. With access to tools like artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and virtual reality, they can explore concepts that many adults are still learning to navigate. These iPads will allow them to take virtual field trips to museums, historic landmarks, and places they may never be able to visit in person—expanding their world and deepening their understanding. These resources will help bridge learning gaps, build confidence, and ignite a lifelong love for discovery that extends far beyond the classroom.
