Help Mrs. T.

Teaching is my passion and working with children is one of the most rewarding things that I can do with my life. This year I have a group of eager, ready to learn sixth graders. One of my goals for the class this year is to integrate technology into every subject. One of the activities planned for the students is for every child to write a book. They will write Poetry, Autobiographies, Short Stories, and more. However in order for them to write we need to expand our very limited Classroom Writing Center. My students would benefit from having a state of the art Writing Center complete with a computer and printer as well as other materials that are so essential to learning. Many of my students receive free or reduced lunch and most do not have access to computers outside of school. While we do have access to computers in the building, they must be shared with other classrooms. I would like a computer and printer as well as other materials that would allow my students to have a Writing Center to support their writing efforts. My 26 eager authors and I would be eternally grateful to you if this proposal is funded.
