We have 6 iPads for FreshGrade. We took pictures of our art in our fresh grade. Our art is dot panting.

 

It’s more interesting to work on an iPad than on paper because we can use the keyboard on iPad. It’s easier to type with a keyboard than a paper or pencil. We can take pictures. It’s awesome and we have our own camera in the class.

Fresh Grade

For fresh grade we got 6 new iPads for the whole class.

There’re a little heavy but there’re really cool.

We also made some dot paintings and those turned out really good.

We put the dot paintings on our portfolio.

Those are the paintings in the hall way.

The two red snakes are mine.

The cases for the iPads are so cool. They let you stand up the iPad on it.

They’re also so strong.

Our class got six new ginormous iPads for Fresh Grade.

Here is me (Nikita) using one of them.

When we do our work we don’t need to sit at  our desks.

 We can work anywhere!

  We got new iPads with indestructible otter boxes.

 If we drop the iPad the otter box case not will shatter.
