My class consists of 50% English Language learners. Six are of Hispanic origin and 1 pakistani. They are overall very young and need various modalities for learning. The more interesting the actiity, the more it keeps their interest.
Position:
teacher
Needs:
I would like to have a couple of digital cameras and a photo printer to help my children take real pictures for their alphabet books. Allowing them to choose their pictures themselves will connect meaning to the letters.

I had many various jobs at a local furniture manufacturing company. While I was in college, I worked in the plant stacking pillows, and in the replacement parts department.
