Funded Aug 12, 2019I want to thank you for you generous donation to my classroom. As you know, we only had 2 Ipads in the classroom and I wanted to give my students a chance to develop 21st skills. The donation has allowed me to have a math and a reading center. In the math center they are able to play a game called ST Math that helps build and develop their math skills. During reading centers they can choose to play various learning apps. I have been able to download ABC Mouse, Starfall, a whiteboard app where they can practice writing their high frequency words using a stylus and the Vooks app where students listen and watch stories read to them.
During math, students are solving problems and taking a collection of items and counting them. When they are done they have the opportunity to record a video to explain to the class how they solved a problem or counted their collection. They then present the video to the class. This especially helps my shy students and it helps all the students to develop their presentation skills. They get so excited when it is their turn to record their video.
Thank you again for your donation. I am so happy that I can show them what they can do with technology and take them beyond youtube and games. The tablets have been great for differentiation and I am able to meet all of my students needs.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Carroll
