My Project

My students deserve the experience of reading in a new way. All day long my students are reading from big bulky workbooks or computer screens. My students love reading, but they also love getting cozy in the classroom. It is very hard to relax in the classroom while reading a story from a heavy textbook, or computer.

The Kindle is lightweight and easily manageable.

Students will be able to find anywhere in the class and be comfortable while reading stories from their Kindle.

I am always seeking new ways to get them excited about reading. Students love technology. Introducing these Kindles to my class library will have all my students excited to give them a try.
