I teach in a suburban school in New Jersey. My classroom philosophy is based on the Responsive Classroom model.
Position:
teacher
Needs:
I am looking to be able to have students work with flip cameras in small groups, interviewing adults, writing skits about tolerance, and sharing them with the other classes in our school. I would like to be able to have them learn how to use a camera and print the pictures so that they can observe changes in nature, but also the beauty of nature. These photographs would be used to document a journal of poetry through photographs.
I would love to have an Elmo machine to display books and writing.
