I teach four 5th grade classes. I teach Math and Character Development.
Position:
5th Grade Math Teacher
Needs:
I am in need of anything technologic. I'm pretty tech savvy but our school just lacks the funds. I must say though that I do have a SMARTboard and a projector so I am very thankful for that.
My Philosophy:
I believe that any child can learn, and every child can change the world around them. I am a firm believer that technology is the future and if we don't start incorporating technology now, then we do our students a disservice for their future.
