My Students

My students? They're learners. They always try hard. And when you have explorers, they're bound to go far. They amaze and astonish; they're always a blast! Oh how I wish, you could check out my class!

They talk, laugh and cry, get frustrated, face failure, but always they grasp for the skies like a sailor.

They admire success and are always uplifting even when someone just seems to be drifting. They keep me excited, and always ignited. I want make sure that I stay open-minded. I strive to be different, making the best of my time. but I'm often kept up late making my lessons sublime. They need new ideas and thoughts can't be plain. I want to be a great teacher, I don't want to be lame. We're in a K-8 school, we live in So Cal. It's a new school for me but I love the locale. My Principal's dapper, he's calmly and chill. The teachers are awesome, they help and they're skilled. We all work together to create vast excitement, so that students are engaged and enjoy all our assignments. I'd keep on going but you might get bored, so please just remember my school's a reward.

My Project

They'll create with their hands and take notes with their fingers. Their brains will work extra when able to research. It's small like a phone but has lots of features that allow us to hear things because of the speakers. Music and movies, the Apps never end. All our stuff will be saved again and again. We'll play board games, make games and code with our friends. Groups can collaborate, discuss, and design but they're great most of all because they'll save time. What is Prime? We will tell them! In math they will find, all the meaning of failure and how to draw lines. We'll make music with Science, then make Science a song. Who knew you could do this? It's been here for so long! We can use the maps app as a tool to teach states and even use Skype to connect with our mates. With these new iPad mini's, we ensure that they will accomplish their goals and their future's instilled.

We have no devices, the kids bring their own, but some of them don't even have them at home.

To be an effective and literate teacher, we must use technology and get use to the features. iPad minis will allow us to gain so much perspective I ask you, "How can you pass up this incentive? You'll make a big difference in this teacher's room, and you'll even receive a tax write-off too! My wish is that maybe, just maybe, you'll see that if you give a few dollars, we'll do so many things!
