I teach math to two classes of fourth graders everyday!
Position:
5th grade teacher
Needs:
We need to purchase student response systems, to use with our interactive whiteboard. It will help us to use our interactive whiteboard more effectively,and engage my students at the same time.
My Philosophy:
My philosopy is Failure is Not an Option!!! I do whatever it takes, to produce first rate math students. I will not accept phrases like, "I'm just not a math person" or " I can't do it, it's too hard". I am determined to meet my students where they are, and change the equation of their situations!!!
