I have a 4th grade class of 8 boys and 10 girls. They range from high average to below grade level. We work very hard to help every student meet their highest potential. There are no bad behaviors and everyone helps each other.
Position:
Resource Teacher
Needs:
My class needs a promethean board. Ours is the only 4th grade classroom without one. Hopefully, by next year we will have this need fulfilled.
My Philosophy:
It is my feelings that all kids can learn. It is my job as a teacher to find the specific learning needs of each of my students so that I may help them reach their highest potential.
