Dangerous Reading - The CASE for the Kindle Fires!

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

My students are all academically and intellectually gifted middle schoolers. I love their senses of humor, their love of literature and their warms hearts. Some of my kids read at a post-high school level.

Recently, wonderful donors from my home state and the Donor's Choose community gave me the funds for eight Kindle Fire e-readers for my students.

They were SO excited to receive the Kindles and I started buying books for them from Amazon.

What I forgot is that we don't have any appropriate COVERS for those Kindle Fire e-readers! I know kids, and as careful as they are, accidents do happen. The Kindle's are great and but we all know the most careful or readers can have an accident with their 'book'. So I really like to let the kids at 'em but we are all afraid (my AIG students as well!) of using them without the protection of a sturdy case.

We're looking for eight protective cases to fit a Kindle Fire 8 that is sturdy and solid. Any help would gratify my kids and their humble teacher. Thanks in advance and Happy Holidays!

My Project

My gifted and talented students love to read! Help them protect their new Kindle Fire readers with sturdy cases that can take the heat of daily use in the classroom! Each month my students must independently read a book and present a project of their own creative imagining to entice others to read the book too.

My students were so thrilled to get Kindle Fire units for their reading pleasure.

It's hard to keep up with kids who roar through a book in two days so the Kindles are a great solution. Now they need some sturdy cases to help protect their precious friends: the electronic books!
