Summit Drive Elementary School
Hometown:
Greenville, SC
Class Information:
Room Number: science lab
Students per Class: whole school 350+
Class Description:
We are an inner city elementary school in Greenville,SC. Wehave a large and growing number of hispanic children who haved joined us in the last few years. Most of them come to school without the benefit of speaking english! We also have 2 special education classes. One of these classes is severly autistic. We are a loving, giving special "family" at Summit Drive. FACULTY AND STUDENTS ALIKE!
Position:
science lab instructor
Needs:
I would like to have digital cameras and voice recorders to make the science lab (and it's 32 animals!) easier for the hispanic and special children. Pictures and words in english and spanish would be a wonderful tool for these children. Even "take home and share" books would be made using the pictures we take.
