Class Description:
I currently teach a 4th grade inclusion class in Southeast Louisiana.
Position:
4th Grade Teacher
Needs:
My class needs anything having to do with technology. We have many students who live in poverty; their only chance to learn about technology is at school.
My Philosophy:
Kids should always come first in education. The majority of educational dollars should be spent in the schools and in the classrooms. I get so excited "shopping" on Digital Wish and adding great tools to my wish list. If I have this much fun "wishing", imagine how much fun my students will have using these items!
