Birch Lane Elementary School
Class Information:
Room Number: 24
Students per Class: 158
Class Description:
By the end of the year I will have taught all 3, 4, 5, and 6th grade classes. I meet with each 4, 5, 6th grade for 40 minutes, 4 days a week and the 3rd grade once a week for 30 minutes. I cover the physical and Earth science for 4th and 5th grade. 6th grade learns about Earth science and 3rd grade is working on physical science only.
Position:
Science Teacher
Needs:
I would like to have an interactive white board in my room mainly because I have so many classes I don't have enough physical space to hang up information that I could refer back to. It also provides a means to pull up information and project it quickly. Any monetary donation would be great so that I have materials to get consumable items like wires, batteries, paper or any other unforeseeable need.
My Philosophy:
All students can learn. My job is to help them learn how their world works.
