Enriched
learning and discovery is taking place in first grade, as students are
researching information for science projects, exploring maps for social
studies, and practicing math problems on the iPads. The highlight of the
students’ week is getting time on Friday with the iPads to practice their
addition and subtraction facts! Each child has a goal for him/herself in how
many facts to get correct in a limited time. Students document their score and
time every Friday, and try to beat it the following week, thus improving their
calculations and enhancing their love of math! The iPads are also incorporated
in a small group setting as a tool for engagement while teaching and reviewing
topics using the Nearpod app. Teachers create multimedia presentations with Nearpod
that is interactive and allows teachers to instantly assess every student while
monitoring their understanding. The future is looking BRIGHT for our first
graders!
