Carter G. Woodson once said, "Readers are Leaders, and Leaders are Readers." I teach fourth grade in a low income, Title ! school. Many needs are evident in my school and especially in my classroom. Let me share some of the basic needs with you. There are field trips that we would like to go on, but cannot, because most of the parents cannot afford the cost, and our school is on a very limited budget. Many times we are forced to ration copy paper because supplies run out before the year is over. The three computers in my classroom work 25 percent of the time. They are either out of virtual memory, or freeze up every time the students attempt to use them. Currently, the school cannot afford to purchase ink for all the teachers who have printers in their classroom, so now we have to purchase ink ourselves.
