My Students

Do you remember the first time a story came to life, or what it felt like when you had finally mastered your math facts. Give my students the opportunity to have the same feelings by donating to our project for Kindle Fires.

In our classroom there are 3 different languages spoken at home.

Some of my students come from some difficult financial situations at home. Many students have no access to a computer or internet at home. Even though students come to school with many obstacles in their lives, they want to learn and do their very best.

My Project

Students will use the Kindle Fires in many different ways. During reading they will use them to sharpen their reading skills with literacy applications, as well as use an online tool to practice reading and comprehending fluently at a level that is just right for them. This program allows them to record themselves reading a story, and they then get to listen to themselves read the story. It also allows them to listen to the story being read to them as the illustrations come to life. During math students will use these tablets to practice their math fact fluency, as well as use online virtual manipulatives to help them solve math problems. The Kindle Fire will be a great addition to the other interventions and programs we have currently running in our classroom. With your donation you can help me close the achievement gap in the next generation!

The Kindle Fire is going to allow my students to have experiences they may otherwise never have.

This technology will also help students who are struggling by providing an engaging way to learn the content they need to know. My students thank you in advance for your donation. We cannot wait to get our hands on our new Kindle Fires.
