My Project

I work with a great group of students who love being at school. They work hard every day and love being on the computer. I would like to get two iPads for our classroom to help my students with research and other skills using apps on the iPads.

Because of the severe weather that impacts our area, sometimes my students are not able to get what they need.

When severe weather hits, we miss school or students are stuck at school worrying about family at home.

With these iPads, we will be able to follow weather alerts, learn about weather patterns, and know what to do in case of severe weather. I am hoping that, with this project, my students will learn how to remain calm when we are threatened with severe weather.
