A top priority for me within the classroom is to continue to provide experiences that draw out kids’ natural curiosity. If a student is curious about a topic, the learning possibilities are endless. In order to ignite this curiosity, daily, teachers must be extremely creative with our limited resources. A set of 6 iPads would be an incredible resource that would open up a whole new world for my kids. We would use them daily within small groups in order to take each topic (Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies) to a deeper level. Help me help them go past the limits of our classroom texts and access the excitement of our world. I know this is an incredibly large project to fund and I truly need your support in order to make this a reality for my kids.
