Bluebee Pals from Kayle Concepts are Bluetooth-enabled stuffed animals that can connect to any smart device to play music or tell stories easily. Virtually anything you play on a smart device you can stream through the Bluebee Pal, and the mouth will move as it reads the story or plays the songs. You can also use your Bluebee Pals as a phone speaker, so a call placed to a smartphone can be answered by and be heard through the Bluebee Pals.
Each Bluebee Pals comes with a built-in lithium polymer battery and a micro-USB charging cord. After it’s fully charged, turn it on, and connect the Bluebee Pals just as you would connect any Bluetooth device. Just push the pairing button in the right ear, and your smartphone will be able to discover it.

Reading with Your Bluebee Pal!
Please visit the website of premier program Ready! for Kindergarten™ for further information on how you as a parent can take an active role in your child’s kindergarten readiness.
Have frequent conversations with your child. Reading is about language. Immerse your child in it. Talk often. Listen, and ask your child questions that require more than a one or two word response.
Creating a Tech-Savvy Kindergarten Classroom
Technology integration in the classrooms involves the use of computers and other electronic devices. It helps to motivate students and allows them to learn and share their understanding in fun and unique ways. When used properly, technology can be a tool that enhances and reinforces the curriculum, but, of course, try not to think of technology as a substitute for the teacher.
