Helms is a Magnet School.. My kids come from mostly, from immigrant families who do not have the means to buy a computer or even a car to go to a library to help their children school projects. I have to buy 100% of the school supply list of more than 70% of my kids. We use lots of manipulatives and hands on activities in our classroom and they love it. For reading I had to provide them with books that I bought from years before as well as handmade questions created by myself because we cant have a computer we can use to implement fun reading programs like AR. I got the books for that software but not enough computers and I am sure that would make them more excited about reading. Research projects are almost impossible too for most of them. Their parents do not have a car to go to the closest library and also do not have computers at home with Internet access.
