I am a Special Education teacher in a low-income, high poverty area in Homestead, Florida. I teach students with Emotional Behavior Disorders and Learning Disabilites. It is a Title I school which means that almost all of the students in the school receive free or reduced price lunch. I am currently teaching math, science, language arts, reading, social studies, and social/emotional skills to a wonderful group of six and seven year olds. Most of these children come from difficult home environments and lack exposure to things that we can sometimes take for granted. My students are working below grade level and having labtops would be so beneficial. While I am working with small group instruction, other students can go to the computer center to sharpen their reading and comprehension skills. They will also be able to sharpen their math facts in both addition and subtraction which is an important life skill.
