technology- $2,389 grant



Today I, along with 3 other teachers, was awarded $2,389 for a grant we wrote called "Leading Little Hands to Technology." The grant was awarded on behalf of the CSISD Education Foundation and will allow us to buy 12 iPod touches and docking stations. Four of the iPods will he housed in my classroom, but are open for anyone to check out at any time.

In my first grade classroom, we use apps for math and language arts practice and strategy games. We use music for learning and we watch pod casts to increase vocabulary, take virtual field trips and much, much more.

We are truly blessed to have the technology on hand to help us be better teachers.
