MANY ipad apps

Hello!  Winter break has come and gone and here comes another semester... ready or not! ;)  Can't believe another year has begun as well!
Well, maybe your new years' resolution will be to learn more about using technology in your classroom!
I have taken screenshots of the folders I created on my ipads, so you can see the apps I have downloaded for free for my students' usage.
Check them out!  They're mostly all ELAR skills for first graders, and especially for struggling first graders.  The name of the folder is listed.
