Kindergartners are introduced to basic operations and concepts as they use their iPad for the first time in an academic setting. They learn about caring for their device, and explore creativity and digital art through programs such as Sketches School and Chatter Pix. The learning platform, Seesaw, serves as a digital portfolio where students are able to reflect and showcase their work to an authentic audience. They begin to explore a variety of educational apps and websites on their iPads that enhance their learning and build foundational skills in Language Arts and Math. 

Students also begin to explore robotics through the Blue Bots - robots designed to teach directionality, and sequencing. They learn about basic programming concepts such as algorithms  and problem solving through hands-on activities integrated within the curriculum.
