My students will use these requested materials during small group meetings with myself and during centers. Every day in my classroom, my students go to centers during math and language arts. After whole group instruction, the class is broken up into 4 small groups and they rotate through centers. Through these smaller group settings, I am able to meet everyone's individual needs. These Kindles and Osmo stations will help my students during their small group and center rotations. They will become more comfortable with technology and get to learn about math and reading in a fun way. Having these materials added to my reading and math centers will allow my students to practice skills that will make them successful. They will not only work on math and literacy skills, but they will work on social skills of cooperation and problem solving. I want to integrate these technology tools in my classroom to make learning exciting! Kids are so interested in technology these days, and I can't wait to get my students excited about learning. By having these resources, I firmly believe I can make this happen.
