Second Graders Need Help Protecting Their iPads

My students need iPad cases that can stand the wear and tear of Second Graders!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Haer's classroom raised $382

This project is fully funded

My Students

The 28 multicultural children that I spend most of my day with are extremely hard working and come to school each day to do their absolute best. Although our classroom has the bare minimum, in terms of supplies and equipment, my students make the best out of so little. It makes me feel extremely privileged to be their teacher. The children have also formed a bond with each other that goes beyond the walls of the classroom. They are very helpful to each other and the first ones to finish an assignment are also the first ones to want to help their classmates.

My students are also a very "giving" group.

Although most of their families do not have funds to spare, the children recently emptied their own piggy banks to help raise money for little boys and girls with cancer.

My Project

My students will be using these six cases to protect the new iPads purchased by some amazing people through Donor's Choose! With teaching second graders comes accidents. It is inevitable that one of these new iPads will be accidentally knocked onto the floor. We will need sturdy, protective cases to ensure the safety of our new technological equipment.

Donations to this project will ensure the safety of our new iPads.

Being able to share this wonderful technology with my students is going to be a wonderful opportunity for everyone. Protecting and extending the usage of this equipment will benefit this year's second graders and my future classes as well!
