PTA Grant and an iPod



Yesterday our class was very fortunate to have received a grant from the PTA. Before Winter Break I wrote a grant attempting to purchase an iPod to use in class with my students. Yesterday I found out we would be receiving an iPod, as well as a $50 iTunes gift card to begin working our library up. Now I assure you we will not be using this iPod to listen to music or even watch movies, but we will be putting the $50 toward audio books. My main motivation behind writing this grant was to try and encourage my "less than willing" readers to want to read. And who wouldn't want to use an iPod? I hope this works...it could be a big breakthrough for my students! Stay tuned.
