From the Elementary Assistant Principal

Exciting things are happening in our senior kindergarten classes!

With the addition of several iPad2’s for kindergarten, students are getting their hands on these fabulous educational tools.  Teachers have searched the App Store for applications that complement the topics the students are learning.  Math exercises, comprehension activities, basic sight word drills, and much more are available for preschool in a fun format. Students are able to use the touch screen to play games while they learn important age-appropriate skills.

The teaching staff is amazed and thankful for the student engagement level the iPads have brought to their classrooms.  Teachers are learning about the capabilities of this unique classroom technology device.  This has enabled them to provide a fresh approach to daily practice in important areas while maintaining a playful atmosphere for five and six-year-olds. 

Thanks goes to Emily Hopkins, who serves as SBEC’S technology integrator, for assisting the kindergarten teachers in helpful training and wonderful ideas for their students.
