The Description

With these dontations I will purchase 4 Ipad Minis, with Wi FI capability (Each one costs about $236 per ipad on Amazon).  The Ipads will be used in Math and Reading centers for added enrichment activities for the kids.  Currently I only have 3 computers in class for the children to use.  During our centers time they are allowed to use the computer to play educational games, but have to share and take turns which cuts down on the amount of time they get to use the computers.  Having Ipad minis available in the classroom will greatly enhance their learning with the use of educational apps for Reading and Math and ensure that ALL children have equal access to a technology rich environment.  Below is the link for the Ipads I would like to purchase from Amazon.

Back Up Plan

If we don't reach our entire goal we will...

purchase tablets that may cost less, or purchase Math and Reading Games as an option to the computer.  I hope we get the Ipads!

About the Creator

I am a first grade teacher and have been teaching for 9 years. I love first grade! I believe it takes a strong foundation to build a good house, and first grade is where they get that good foundation for Math, Reading, and Writing. My favorite part about this grade level is when the "light bulb" comes on for the first time and the student finally gets it. Seeing that look on their face for the first time, and a big smile makes everything worth while.
