Biographies x Technology=Super Readers!

My students need class sets of biography readers to expand our class library. We need Kindle Fires to explore e-reading and increase our experience with technology to encourage our reluctant readers.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

We are in an urban setting in a public school in the capitol city. Currently, supply funding is extremely limited, despite the yearly mandates to include more choice and flexibility in our classrooms. As a result, we make do with the use of second hand, sometimes older furniture that we rehab. Needless to say, this a great challenge. I would like to make a change with this proposal. I want my students to walk into their classroom and be delighted each day because of the thought and care that went into providing them with flexible seating options. Something as simple as seating options will make a huge impact.

My Project

My students enjoy being inspired. Each year, I discover third graders love reading about people who were "kids" just like them. They love finding out famous people experienced challenging circumstances similar to their own but with perseverance, find a way to overcome those challenges and live inspiring lives! I would like to increase our reading library with multiple copies of biographies so we can read in a variety of ways-groups/partners/reader's theater, etc.

Also, I would like to purchase e-readers to encourage the small group of reluctant readers, I have each year that enjoy technology but, "think" they don't like books.

Kindle fires would be a great way for these learners to experience reading from a format they enjoy. So please help me solve the equation of Biography x Technology=Super Readers!
