The Sheboygan Area School District has implemented a 1-to-2 iPad Mini program in grades K-1, and a 1-to-2 Chromebook program in grades 2-5. At Grant School, we are continuing to add classroom equipment such as data projectors, document cameras, and SMARTBoards, to enhance student learning, .
Beyond the physical devices, students at Grant School have access to a variety of resources to further their education. Books, periodicals, and video/DVD resources are available through the school library. Electronic resources, such as an online library catalog and several research databases, are also available to students at school or home with any Internet-connected device. Instruction on how to use these resources is available from the Library Media Specialist.
Students in 4K, Kindergarten and first grade have carts of iPad minis available for classroom use. Students use the devices for extra practice, enrichment or reinforcement of taught concepts. Third, fourth and fifth grade students utilize Chromebooks in the classroom to enhance their learning. At the elementary level, the Chromebooks remain at school for use. In middle school and high school, Sheboygan Area School District students are issued Chromebooks for use at school and at home. Student Chromebook use is governed by the Chromebook Policy Handbook. |
Grant Makerspace is a place where students can explore, create and use their critical thinking skills. In this place, they use the four C's, |
The Four Cs of 21st-century learning, also known as the Four Cs or 4 Cs, are four skills that have been identified by the United States-based Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21) as the most important skills required for 21st-century education.
During the school year, we have STEAM Friday's which let the students be able to take strategies and problem- solve to complete their STEAM challenge.
These challenges have involved coding during Hour of Code, cardboard challenge creating different structures and just using the different resources in the room to explore and create.
