My Students

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." said Dr. Seuss. The technology in our rooms does not support our curriculum and the young students often get overlooked when new equipment is purchased. We need your help!

These 5 and 6 year old students attend a full day kindergarten program.

This building houses preschool through 5th grade and is the only elementary school in our district. We are outside the metropolitan area and considered a bit more rural. The students and families are open to new and different activities and supplemental teaching materials. The budget, however, does not allow us to provide those opportunities.

My Project

Learning to read, practicing addition and subtraction, communicating with a far-off pen pal, listening to and watching vivid stories are all things that the Kindle Fire tablets will enable these students to participate in. Their love of learning and ability to absorb new information combined with new technology would be a wonderful fit. Our current technology doesn't support the curriculum we have and the students are unable to supplement their learning. Working with the available applications the Kindle supports during center time and small group time will give the kids a wonderful chance to listen to authors read their own stories, practice sight words and math facts, and reinforce common core standards taught in the classroom.

The Kindle Fire HD tablets in the hands of young learners will not only reinforce the skills taught in the classroom, it will help each one become an independent learner.

It will help provide a more effective curriculum and help each child, each family, to become more confident in the ability of the kindergarten student to use provided technology effectively and responsibly.
