My Students

The students in my classroom are gentle, sweet, and caring individuals. Their individuality creates a lively and exciting classroom environment that is fun to be a part of. As the teacher of these growing minds, I love to provide them with every opportunity they can possibly have.

This wonderful group of fourth grade students are eager to learn, all of the time, and crave the attention and education they can get from knowledgeable individuals.

Unfortunately, they are growing up in a really tough world and also a lower income neighborhood. These students are not always given many opportunities to be successful, and as their teacher I find that it is my responsibility to open up as many doors for them as I can.

My Project

The students in my classroom are eager to learn in new and exciting ways. Everyday, they exhibit this excitement for learning with new resources. The Amazon Kindle Fire tablets will be a great resource for the students in our classroom. They will now be able to access educational learning apps, read downloadable books, and listen to books read aloud.

The addition of this tablet technology will also allow the students to interact with learning activities around the school and the classroom by scanning QR codes that lead to a number of content rich tasks, mathematics activities, and other resources to better their learning.

By introducing the Amazon Fire tablets to my class, I hope to increase, not only interest in learning, but learning scores as well.
