Recently, my district added Nexus Tablets into the Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten classrooms. Below are a few Android apps that would fit nicely in a Pre-K/K classroom. Added bonus, these apps are available on iPad too!
Alphabet Organizer by the International Reading Association is a free app for Android (and iPad). This app allows for multiple users, so students can save their work and not worry about the work disappearing. Students can create two projects: words only or one word & picture per letter. The projects allow the students to create electronic word walls.
Breathe, Think, Do with Sesame by the Sesame Workshop is a free app for Android (and iPad). This app provides activities for the students to interact with while learning how to calmly problem solve. This is a good resource for teachers to suggest for parent to download and use at home. Teachers could also use this app to help students understand how to calm down and solve day to day problems.
Scratch, Jr is a great, free app for students to get engage with coding. Scratch Jr is available for Android (and iPad). You can also access Scratch on the web. Scratch is for students 8 and up while Scratch Jr is for younger students.
Peppa's Paintbox by Entertainment One. This is a free app for Android and iPad. This is a nice app to let your students' artist side out. Students can paint with a variety of colors, add stickers, and effects to their art work.
There are several apps out there made by Eggroll Games. Those are available for Android and iPad. They do have free and paid versions, but are worth the download.
