Very cute idea! A few things I noticed: -40/50 minute time periods will most likely be hard for the students to handle - It will also be hard for 4 students who have severe disabilities to share one iPad. It is important for them to work together. I would favor 2 per iPad but some students with certain disabilities could probably work well in a group of 3. - If you wanted to integrate this project with a core subject, which you'll have to do daily, they could identify the physical characteristics of their pumpkin. Size, shape, color, number of leaves, shape of eyes and nose, etc...
I think the 2 students per iPad is a great idea, but in our instructions Dr. Strange told us to act like the iPad/ student ratio was 4:1. And that is a great idea on how to integrate a core subject. Thanks again!
