My Project

Students at my school are expected to use laptops but sometimes students forget them at home or don't charge them properly so the ipads will help make sure all students can participate on any given day. The books will go into my classroom library. Each day my students choose books to read independently. We read for 10 minutes each day as it has been scientifically proven to aid with positive mental health, reading comprehension, writing fluidity, and can even boost test scores. I have also seen that it has helped students to connect with one another through what they are reading so I am hoping having more modern books will be helpful.
