What an exciting and important year for my first group of first graders and myself as a new teacher! Technology plays such an important role in today's society and I want my students to be ready to succeed in whatever they may choose in life. Students will use the ipads during our group time to help enrich their education. iPads will give every student the opportunity to practice reading and mathematical skills during center rotations through the various educational and exciting apps. Today's technology has so much to offer to today's children. ipads will make learning fun while also allowing me to personalize the needs to each individual students so that they may be successful. Thank you for choosing to donate to my classroom and helping educate these wonderful children.
