Kindle Time Makes Learning Fun and Engaging!

Help me give my students 8 new Kindle Fire Tablets! The usage of the educational apps on the Kindles allow the students to strengthen their reading and math skills in a fun and engaging manner.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Whiteside's classroom raised $1,087

My Project

My 2nd graders love learning; and they love technology! Students use technology daily during reading rotations. As students rotate through the different centers, they always get a little extra excited to go to the Kindle center! Students are able to select from different educational apps that focus on reading, math, and spelling. The apps are fun, engaging, and students are learning and practicing different skills without even realizing it! Who doesn't love that!?

Please consider supporting this project to give my students the Kindle technology that allows independence, engagement, and fun during reading rotations!
