My Students
You never get a second chance to make a first impression. That's why it is imperative that our students' first experience in school be one that not only prepares them, but one that keeps them excited to learn. In our Pre-K classroom we see every day as an opportunity to link our classroom experiences to the wonders of the world.
Through play based learning, small group/individual learning experiences, and guided literacy, my students are building the social and academic skills that will prepare them for Kindergarten and beyond.
Fostering curiosity, exploration, and a sense of community togetherness; while developing a lifelong love of learning...that is what Pre-K is about! And through the NC-PreK program, I am privileged to serve a community of children who need high quality Pre-K experiences the most. Our students are bright, creative, and hunger for the chance to demonstrate what they know. And in spite of the risk factors that make them eligible for our program, they break through statistics and stereotypes with every new challenge they face!
My Project
Students will be able to use a QR code app on the Kindle Fire to scan the code on any book in the listening library to be directed to a reading of that story. Living in a 21st century world means that many of the experiences we once had using radios, cassette tapes and even CDs have all transitioned to digital media players such as tablets.
My goal is to bring my classroom's listening center into the 21st century by adding Kindle Fires and QR code labels.
Listening centers allow students to follow along with books learning word direction, connect spoken words to written words, voice inflection, punctuation and an appreciation of books. Through the use of coded book recordings family members, older students or the Pre-K students in my classroom will be encouraged to participate in the recordings. Giving the Pre-K students even more incentive to utilize the listening center.
What will we do with the Kindle Fires during times of the day other than free choice center times, you ask. We will use the tablets for App smashing, book creating, green screen projects, coding with PBS apps, playing Kahoot class made games, Scholastic: Clifford's My Big World readings, and the list goes on! We would love for you to help us build skills that will help us be successful in the 21st century.
