My Project

A donation of an iPad Mini tablet and protective case will make a meaningful impact in our 1st grade classroom by enhancing small group learning and supporting a variety of educational activities. The device will be used during literacy and math centers, where students rotate through stations designed to meet their individual learning needs. With the iPad Mini, students can access interactive apps that reinforce reading comprehension, phonics, number sense, and problem-solving skills in an engaging, hands-on way.

The iPad will also support differentiated instruction, allowing students to work at their own pace and receive personalized support.

In addition, it will be a valuable tool for students who benefit from visual and auditory learning resources. The included case will ensure the device remains protected and durable for daily classroom use.

This donation will not only enrich our technology resources but also help foster creativity, independence, and a love for learning among our young students.
