This week some fabulous teachers invited me into their kindergarten or first grade classroom to introduce the students to the classroom iPads they would be using this year. We went over a few rules each teacher created, made an iPad promise by putting our fingerprint and name on the “rules” poster and then had a chance to experiment with a few of the apps.
Check out the fun we had:

One app that the students enjoyed was Farmyard. It is a FREE app that students use to create a scene with farm animals. We related our scenes to math problems (ex. 5 cows were in the field. If I add 6 more, how many would there be in all? ELEVEN!) One little first grader impressed me with his computation skills. He said, “If 19 ducks were in the pond and four walked away, how many are left? FIFTEEN!” Here was his creation:
Let me know if you would like for me to come in to do an introduction to iPads lesson!
