My students need Amazon Kindle Fires to use during Differentiated Instruction for reading, using educational applications, and research. My students will use headphones to read independently and listen to audio for educational purposes.
I teach 4th grade scholars in the Miami, Florida area in a difficult neighborhood of extreme poverty. My students are bright, intuitive, and have a drive to succeed no matter their circumstances.

Students will use the Amazon Kindle fires to read novels for novel studies in downloading Ebooks.

I cant wait to find new and exciting ways to integrate these Kindles into my classroom! These kindles will motivate my students to
