My students range in age from 6 to 8 years old, with a variety of ability levels and learning styles. We are transitioning to a new building next year, with a focus on e-STEM.
Our learners come from a wide range of ethnic and cultural backgrounds and experiences.
Having a safe, fun, and comfortable place to come and learn is of top priority for me as their teacher. Each and every day my students enter the classroom ready to learn with big smiles on their faces.
My Project
The iPad with case will be used to enhance math and science lessons. We have 3 science kits in first grade: weather, balls & ramps, and organisms. Students will also use it during science for research, for example, during our weather kit; students will get a chance to use the weather app on the iPad. The apps. will understand the impact weather has, understand weather patterns around the world, and use apps related to weather. We will also use the iPad during our organisms science kit. Students will understand the needs of animals and their habitat by conducting research projects on the iPad during small group time. In math, we will use the iPad to reinforce mathematical skills/concepts. There are various great math apps for us to download to reinforce skills. We also have a math program at our school that we can access on the iPad. The iPad will allow students to learn math in a hands-on and engaging way. Students will be using the iPad daily during math, science, writing, and reading.
