My Students

Our classroom is full of excited first graders who are ready to learn!

In our classroom, we have a wide range of ability level.

There are seven different reading groups ranging from a Pre-Kindergarten level to a seventh grade reading level. All of the students are ready to learn at whatever level they are reading during Daily five rotations.

My Project

My students need two iPads in the classroom to further differentiate their learning. Because we have such a wide range of student ability levels in the room, iPads are a great resource to differentiate their learning using the same programs. iPads are a great tool to keep rigor and engagement going throughout the day. Not only are iPads great tools for reading and math they are also great tools for creating and teaching.

Donations to this project will improve our classroom by allowing more students to learn on iPads at the same time.

These tools will allow more engagement during Daily 5 rounds and math stations. And these iPads will last for many more students to learn!
