I am seeking help in funding additional resources for my students' success. I have wonderful students that show tremendous success when the bar is set high. If I had these resources available for my students to use I know they will become successful, independent thinkers. Also, additional resources will help aid in my students' success. My students have been asking for different examples of the lessons we are learning and the books i requested will help. It is difficult to come up with new and exciting ways to make math fun and coming up with different examples is even harder so every little bit helps. I am requesting a computer to replace the one that got destroyed during Harvey. Also having a printer in my room will help tremendously because currently I have to go to another teacher's classroom to get the print outs that I need. The printer being a multipurpose printer will allow me to scan and upload assignments to my students online files for easy access.
