Choconut Valley Elem School
Class Information:
Room Number: 1
Students per Class: 17
Class Description:
First grade classroom. Many diverse learners. No 2 students learn exactly alike. I feel it is important to have an enriched environment so that I may meet the needs of more of the students. Children need to be challenged to think for themselves. I need to provide them with the tools for them to learn as much as possible in the time they are in my class.
Position:
teacher
Needs:
Technology is growing! We need to provide as many tools to the students as possible. Students need the opportunity to use digital cameras for lessons and projects. Software to enrich the curriculum is helpful. Projectors and smartboards help to make learning fun and more students are able to see what is being taught.

Why Do I Teach?:
Education is not just what we learn in school. We have the opportunity to grow and become better communicators, partners, parents, teachers, students, and workers in everything we do. Self-education is a lifelong task. Teaching is one way to make a difference, to touch one or many in a manner that will make the world a better place. In doing so, I reap as much if not more, than I have sown. I can't think of a better way to spend a life
