\nYes, the lower grades can use it too.

Just when I was beginning to feel like having this amazing device was becoming "normal" I had some refreshing experiences with it. First of all, spending 48 hours on planes and in airports allowed some time to really get into apps. Then, being able to share it with alot of people who had never seen or touched one before helped rekindle the wonder. Finally, reading through tons of online resources (see the resources tab on our wiki) and reading about the experiences of other educators gave some great perspective about how we are using the devices.
\n
\nHere are some of the iPad apps and activities that I found really enjoyable over the last couple of weeks:
\n
\nGarage Band to compose a complete song with drums, bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar and organ.
\n
\nKindle app to read a full-length novel.
\n
\nBump shared photos with friends' iPhones and iPads.
\n
\nKid Animation to create a full-color, 8-slide animation illustrating the life cycle of a plant.
\n
\niWrite Words, Starfall ABC's, Smarty Pants School and Monkey Math to start teaching my four-year old nephew English.
