BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE WOODLAND HILLS FOUNDATION.
Through generous funding from two
donors through DonorsChoose.org,
my classroom was able to purchase
6 Amazon Kindles for student usage.
These Kindles will be added to 2
tablets I had received previously from
DonorsChoose.org funding in order
to allow my students even more
opportunities to explore learning
digitally. Some of the programs we
use on the tablets are Raz-Kids (a
reading program that differentiates
their reading), Spelling City (in order to
practice their spelling and vocabulary
words), and the Super Kids app (to
practice the skills we learn in our
reading program). In math, we use
Splash Math and First Grade Learning
Games. The utilization of these tablets
in centers, combined with
computers, allow these
youngsters the opportunity
to differentiate their learning
and practice digital skills to
lay the foundation for future
grades and classes. My students
are so thankful to receive the
funding and use these tablets in
this very parent-oriented, and
supportive school.
