My Students

In today's world, students are more stimulated by electronics. These devices are an amazing way to keep their focus on learning.

I teach first graders.

I believe that this is the best grade ever. These students come to me wanting to learn as much as possible. They are so sweet and kind to one another and it is truly and amazing grade. These students have a love for learning.

My Project

iTouch devices are an amazing tool to add to your classroom. The ways that you can implement them into your classroom are endless. You can use them as a listening center with all books on them. You can use them for fluency and have them record themselves and listen to how they read. The possibilities are truly endless. My class needs one additional ipod touch.

This project is so important to me to have more options in the classroom.

To have one more choice for centers during reading our another way to practice math facts during math time.
