Epson PowerLite LCD Projector, $999.95, 0.00% raised
Epson PowerLite LCD Projector
Single Unit Why I need this:
There are so many on-line math manipulatives lessons that I can demonstrate and have class interaction with, on-line. Currently, I have to borrow a projector from the library to do this. I would also love to display some of the photos from my travels and images my step-son has created with his photography hobby.
Quantity: 1 Price: $999.95

Faulconer Elementary School
Hometown:
Sheridan, Oregon
Class Information:
Room Number: 205
Students per Class: 16
Class Description:
Half boys, half girls. Six 6th graders and ten 7th graders. Our district is a low-income, mostly rural district located in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, about one hour south of Portland, and 45 minutes to the coast.
Position:
Teacher
Needs:
Document Camera (e.g., ELMO) and Projector. Apple Laptop. Our children are placed in classrooms, based on their abilities and test scores. We need technology that helps us keep pace with the amazing technology that students have at their fingertips, even for those students who are disadvantaged economically (about 60% of our district's students are free or reduced lunch qualified). SPECIFICALLY, our classroom needs a digital camera and projector to quickly and easily display computer/digital images, and especially students' work for peer review and recognition of exemplary work. A laptop computer would be a dream come true.
My Philosophy:
Every boy and girl has a great opportunity for success in my class. From student surveys and feedback, we know that our kids feel safe at school, appreciate (sometimes begrudgingly) the structure, and are valued by the adults on staff. This is my first year teaching students who are all below grade-level in reading. I'm excited about what we can do together and know that I can continue to be a positive male role model (and for some, the only adult male they know well and see every day!).

Why Do I Teach?:
