My class is made of a heterogenous group of fourth graders ranging in ability levels from exemplary to at risk.
Position:
Teacher
Needs:
In an effort to challenge my students to take their writing and other class assignments to the next level, we need digital cameras, a scanner, and a printer for student use.
My Philosophy:
My philosophy is simple. All students can learn. Given the proper tools and academic atmosphere, every child can excel. I believe all students want to learn, however I understand that desire may be stronger for some. I make it my priority to challenge my students to seek out new knowledge.
