As a 4th grade teacher, I teach approximately 34 students in Ogontz. My students have various ability levels and styles of learning. Some students are auditory learners, some benefit from kinesthetic learning, and others need visual learning. My school is located in the school district of Philadelphia, which is currently facing a serious budget crisis. We have lost teachers, aides, and money we need to buy resources and materials.
