My Students

My luau party themed classroom houses 23 eager and enthusiastic first graders! We get focused by the teacher saying "Hocus Pocus" and the students reply "Everybody Focus!" "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world!" -Bill Wilson

My students are extremely enthusiastic about learning, and they absolutely love school!

They come from various backgrounds including one foster child, several teacher's children, one who suffered a stroke as a baby, and many who are new to the district this year. The children who walk into my classroom know that they will be pushed to their highest potential and get what they need, academically, every day. They understand that I am their friend, miss them over the weekend and want the best for them! Our school is a Pre-K through 1st grade school and is dedicated to putting children first, no matter what. Our district is rapidly growing and computers for each child that are up to date and working is just not feasible at this time. Many families move into this district because they know the quality instruction that is given by teachers. This school/district is the best place to work, raise a family and help children reach their full potential!

My Project

My students need two iPad Minis and cases. My first graders will learn to navigate up-to-date technology devices that do not take up huge amounts of space in our already crowded classroom. The age appropriate apps will lead my first graders to be engaged in vowels, digraphs and adjectives. We will be able to make movies, posters and record our thinking with our iPads. This is something that we are unable to do at this time. They will learn to use technology appropriately and from an early age to help them throughout their school career. Additionally, the children will be able to read interactive eBooks that are available. I believe the possibilities are endless!!!

The donations that are received will help move our entire district in a whole new, positive direction.

iPads are not even available for our students Pre-K through 12. This will be an extremely beneficial project that, hopefully, will encourage other teachers to use technology with their students. I expect that the use of iPads in my first grade classroom will better prepare them for their academic career and future jobs.
