My children are so sweet and ready and willing to learn. It's hard when you need to run around the room trying to get to all the children so that they can have time and attention given to them. With the projector, I would be able to sit them on the rug and have them all involved at the same time and interested in learning. With the document camera, I would be able to put anything up on the board to show them and be able to interact with it and have them come up and interact and learn in a fun way that they are not able to now. The cart is so that we can stay neat and organized and the children would be able to get things from it what they need to help them accomplish and learn. These children do not have easy lives. Most of the time my babies come to school with so much more than we realize-parents in jail, no food to eat, the water or electric turned off, hungry and dirty. I provide them with food and love but I can't afford much else myself. We need you!
