IPad Apps

HELP!

Does anyone have any great educational app suggestions for IPads? (K-6) We just got our mobile lab in and we have money to spend on apps. I have NO IDEA what's good...for school, that is. :) Anyone have suggestions?

    I'm hoping to buy an ipad for the classroom in late October - can't wait to see what works for you!
