Powering Up Learning in Kindergarten!

Help me give my students a reliable charging station that ensures our classroom technology, LCD tablets, and phonic games is always ready for engaging educational activities.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shipp's classroom raised $175

My Project

This station will make sure devices are always ready for learning—no more searching for chargers or dealing with tangled cords! It will also teach my students responsibility as they return their lcd tablets and phonics games , and ipads to the right spot each day.

My goal for this project is to create a more efficient learning environment where technology enhances instruction without the hassle of dead batteries or misplaced games.

A well-organized charging station means more time for hands-on learning

The headphones will help students focus during independent reading and phonics activities without distractions. The charging station will keep all devices organized and ready to use, ensuring learning time isn’t lost. The talking phonics games will make practicing letter sounds, word building, and reading skills fun and interactive, giving students extra support at their own pace.

These tools are important because they create a more engaging, supportive environment for young readers, helping them build critical skills they’ll use across all subjects.
