Help me give my students a deeper love and engagement with their reading lives through Amazon Fire tablets, cases, and a charging station, which will create a way for students to listen to their favorite books through audio.

Celebrating 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
I am fortunate enough to spend my day with 17 learners, readers, writers, mathematicians, scientists, dreamers, thinkers, and changemakers. These fourth graders push themselves to accomplish challenging goals, think critically across multiple perspectives to craft informed opinions, and collaborate to solve problems in creative and flexible ways. Our classroom community deeply values the importance of justice, literacy, and empathy to make our mark on our world.
They are the embodiment of being the change they wish to see in the world.
Their deep thinking and unique perspectives inspire me everyday.
My Project
In our classroom, we engage our love of reading through a Reader's Workshop. Reader's Workshop gives students autonomy to choose texts that interest them to work on goals specific to them. The students gain understanding and ownership of their reading identity, and they develop the skills they need to be lifelong readers!
The ability to listen to audio books will enhance their experience.
Audio books on tablets engage readers who aren't as excited by reading or don't identify as readers, allow students to read texts that are not traditionally accessible to them, and allow them to hone 21st century learning skills. The charging station and cases will also serve to keep the tablets protected, so they can engage readers for years to come.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
