I teach art to a great group of kindergarten to fifth grade low income students. Each class is very unique and they all are eager to learn. My students live in a very rural part of South Carolina and 97% live in poverty. All the students are qualified for free breakfast and lunch. The school is very small and all the staff is devoted to providing a first rate education for each student. Even though it is a small school some of the classes are huge and have 30 students in them. We have a very low budget and little resources. Everyone is trying their best, but it is hard to always keep up without the necessary technology. Having this document camera will help each student have an equal opportunity and the chance to comprehend the instruction.
