The grade level wasn't my choice, rather the fellow who's funding us.
This school *has* had success with sending iPod nanos home with Kindergarteners and first graders (admittedly, those aren't as complex as eReaders such as Kindles). I've also read of kids with cognitive disabilities who are pretty young (at least this young if not younger) doing really well with iPads loaded with special apps that help them with learning or communication.
We *will* be getting covers for these things :-)
Thanks for the feedback to both of you! I hope the principal says the same.
