Help Ms. C.

My students are amazing. Really. They are truly talented and driven despite the adversity they face in their everyday lives. I work at a small inner-city school in a high-poverty area. You would not know this inside my classroom. These students come to school everyday with a great attitude and an eagerness to learn. As their teacher, I strive to foster this eagerness and promote a love of learning that will last a lifetime.

I teach fifth grade. I am trying to prepare my students for the next step in their education...middle school. I know that my students will begin typing papers when they take that next step. I know that the next step will involve the use of many different types of technology. I want my students to be prepared. I want to teach them typing skills but I am unable. We do not have word processing software that is compatible with what they will be using in middle and high school.

I would like to have Microsoft Office for MAC in my classroom. As times have changed and technology has advanced, typing is a skill that all individuals should learn. This technology would help me teach students the ever-important skills that they will use for the rest of their lives.

You can make this possible for my AMAZING students. You can give them the gift knowledge, learning a skill that will better prepare them for any career path they may choose. You will make a difference that will last a lifetime.
