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
I have a lively group of first grade students! Our county is classified as high poverty on every google search. We are a Title I school. There isn't any industry in the area. Access to academic resources outside of the school are very limited.
Most of our students come to us with very little exposure to real life experiences due to the fact that the county resources are so limited.
We are required to expose them to so much, but without technology, that can be impossible. These kids are eager to learn but do not have the necessary tools.
My Project
We are fortunate to have 12 Kindles given to us by the donation of my close friends on Amazon Prime Day; however, they are not kid proofed. Luckily, we survived the first semester with only one cracked screen, but it is not too bad. We use these Kindles for everything- all day. From centers, to guided reading, to science, to math, to test prep, to Class Dojo reward time, they are always in a child's hand. I am asking for 12 kid friendly cases, so that the Kindles can be carried and dropped without fear of breaking. I am asking for clear glass screen protectors to protect the screen for when the case is not on and also to cover the cracks on the one screen. I am also asking for a portable charging station to help make charging easier for us. We do not have a lot of outlets in our room, and charging 12 Kindles take a lot of time due to having to rotate them.
