We are thrilled to announce that the Valle Catholic Schools Foundation awarded an Educator Grant to the kindergarten classroom, supercharging the learning environment with cutting-edge technology!
Valle Catholic kindergarteners now have three brand new iPads and accompanying Bluetooth wireless headphones integrating technology into their daily learning adventures! These innovative resources will focus on implementing smart, interactive, and immersive learning that sets our youngest Warriors up for future success.
The excitement is already evident in the classroom! Mrs. Julie Holland, Kindergarten Educator at Valle Catholic, shared how this upgrade is already making a difference:
“The students love the iPads! They are much easier to use than our old tablets, with bigger screens and easier connections to the reading apps we use. I love that they are learning and enjoying books during center time. Thank you for supporting me and my classroom.”
The impact of this technology is huge for reading development. These new iPads and headphones are transforming how kindergarteners engage with literacy:
- Focused Immersion: The wireless headphones create a quiet, focused environment, allowing each child to dive deep into their chosen reading activity without distractions.
- Literacy Foundations: The apps used “highlight the words as it reads books to the students. This supports their understanding of how we read from left to right and that words are separated by spaces.”
