My kindergartners are from a small military town and many are faced with socioeconomic hardships. Despite these hardships they come to school every day with a smile on their face and joy bursting from their hearts. As their teacher I am given the opportunity to teach them all the foundational skills they need going forward as well as instilling a love of learning within them.
These kinders are an active bunch with a thirst for learning new and challenging things.
They are always asking questions and seeking to dive deeper into the subjects we are learning. Watching their eyes light up as they realize they've finally read a word or sentence, solved a math problem or tested a hypothesis is what makes my day.
My Project
My students are all at different levels of reading and writing in my classroom. The kindle tablets and headphones will provide each student an opportunity to work at their own pace and at their own level during centers. Personalized learning is my goal in my classroom this year!
With these tablets my kids will have the opportunity to explore reading and writing in a whole new way through ebooks, writing applications and engaging learning games.
We currently have limited time and access to computers during the school day and the time we do have is often taken up with just getting logged into computers and websites. With tablets my kids will have time to work on them throughout the day and will have an easier to time accessing the learning sites they need and love to use like, Teach Your Monster to Read!
