Mrs. Klossen from Sugar Creek MO is requesting technology through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

IPads For Learning in Small Groups

My students need help in phonemic awareness to increase their reading fluency. The iPads will allow them hands-on practice while having fun learning.

My Students

I teach a very energetic, happy class of third graders. A typical day in our classroom is spent learning new concepts and ideas as whole groups and small groups.

I have 18 third graders, 11 boys and 7 girls.

In one word "energetic"! Our school is a very low income school with 94% free and reduced price lunch. We are also funded by Title 1 services that help those students who are a year or more below grade level in reading. More than half of my class are below grade level in reading. They are eager to learn, but have difficulty because of this reading deficit.

My Project

The iPads I am requesting would help my students with countless skills between reading, writing, and math. Technology is becoming a bigger part of our society each day. Students today relate more with technology as well as gain a deeper understanding of skills when they get the hands-on experience with technology. Students would use a variety of apps to help with specific skills, some examples being: multiplication, division, spelling, grammar, and reading comprehension. The iPads will be greatly used for differentiated learning. Most of my students are on various levels for reading and math and the iPads would easily allow students to practice skills they need more help with or challenge themselves when they have that understanding of the content. Having the iPads would allow me support different level of students all at one time.

This project will make a difference in my classroom because it will allow more integration of technology in the classroom as well as differentiated instruction with small groups.

The iPads will keep my energetic kids focused and learning at the same time!
