My Project

Having Kindles for my classroom will give my students and classroom the opportunity to experience using an advanced technology tool during group. With the pillows, I would love the opportunity to create a cozy reading nook in my classroom that will foster the love of reading in my students. This Kindle Scribe will give my students the advantage while working in small groups with the teacher. The Kindle will allow my student the chance to better their reading skills while also learning a new form of technology.

The Kindle offers so many unique features that will allow my students to work on reading remediation during small groups with the teacher.

The Kindle is not only a tool that can be used during small groups but it would also be a great incentive tool as well. The students could also use the kindle to read a range of books during individual reading time.
