I have nearly 50 6th graders. I teach Language Arts and History. We are a Title I school and this is our 2nd year having 6th grade classes. With budget cuts, our school is limited in what we can buy. Our 6th grade classes don't have appropriate grade level library books. Our school only has books for grades K-5. My students need to get their reading material from the local public library, and most of them have not even set foot in one. When it comes to literacy, I have many students who need more practice, but they are embarrassed to read because they are afraid of being teased. What better way to ignite their learning than by using technology and connecting it to literature and research. I want my students to be engaged and excited about reading a book. My goal is to help students develop a love for reading. Having Kindle Fires would literally put thousands of opportunities at their fingertips!
