The Tale of Sparkle and Flicker (Audio)

Flicker, on the other hand, was constantly touched with sticky fingers and rough hands, leaving smudges and scratches all over. Sometimes students even fought over who was going to use her. She wished they would be more caring and kind to her.

Flicker, unfortunately, was left exposed, vulnerable to potential accidents. This hurt her feelings and often, alone at night, in the middle of the classroom she would shed a tear or two.

When it was time to put the iPads away, Sparkle was placed in a special charging space. The students understood that this space would shield Sparkle from any accidental damage and make sure he was fully charged and ready to be used the next day .&nbsp;

Sparkle and Flicker were excited for the day ahead.&nbsp; As the students arrived, they carefully picked up Sparkle using both hands, making sure they had a secure grip. They knew that holding the iPad properly would prevent any accidental drops or damage.&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;Flicker, however, was often tossed around carelessly, causing bumps and scratches.&nbsp;

The story of Sparkle and Flicker teaches us an important lesson. When we take care of our belongings, they will last longer and bring us joy. Whether it's an iPad, a toy, or anything else, treating things with respect and care is always the right thing to do.

Once upon a time, in a bustling classroom filled with curious 5 year old students, there were two iPads named Sparkle and Flicker. Sparkle was a well-loved iPad, always treated with care by the students. Flicker, on the other hand, was terribly neglected and mistreated.&nbsp;

The Tale of Sparkle and Flicker

During morning tea, the reliable iPad monitor plugged Sparkle into the charging station so he could recharge his energy. This class knew that keeping Sparkle charged was important for his performance.&nbsp; Flicker, unfortunately, was often left forgotten, with her battery draining until it eventually powered off. This made Flicker feel very sad and left out.

The next day, Flicker was so surprised. Everyone treated her just like Sparkle! The students handled her carefully, charged her when needed, used her gently, and stored her safely.&nbsp; Flicker felt happier than ever before, enjoying a wonderful day filled with learning and exploration.

And so, Sparkle and Flicker continued their journey in the classroom, reminding everyone that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a big difference.

In the classroom, the students used Sparkle to explore different educational apps. They were careful to touch the screen gently with clean hands, avoiding any smudges. Sparkle felt happy and appreciated, as the students were always engaged and excited to learn together.

One day, as the students were lining up to leave the classroom, Sparkle and Flicker had a little chat. Sparkle kindly whispered to Flicker, "If only you were treated with care, you could have a fun and exciting day just like me."&nbsp; Flicker, feeling a bit jealous, decided to sprinkle a little bit of pixie dust so the students might change their ways.
