First Day Excitement

I hope everybody is coming home with fun things to share about our day! Probably one of the most exciting things your kiddo will share with you is that they each get their own iPad… yes, their own iPad! We are very lucky to be the only third grade class at Mill Creek that has a class set of iPads. We will use the iPads to create presentations, publish writings, participate in class discussions and book clubs, keep digital journals, and sometimes even play games to help us practice and review information (as well as other things I’ve probably not even thought of yet!).

Our iPads will stay at school and will be used as tools to aide our learning. They are not taking the place of any curriculum nor will we use them all the time. I am hopeful they will make this year fun and will be a powerful resource and tool that allows us to maximize our learning and gives us creative outlets to showcase our work!


Today, we did a scavenger hunt of things on the iPad to get to know how they work a little better. It won’t be long before we are jumping in and creating new things!
