I am a new teacher coming into a new classroom with limited books and resources. My goal is to help bring as many valuable tools as possible to my students to help them develop academically and socially. I have chosen to work for a Title I funded school because I want to provide each of my students, regardless of their backgrounds, with as many opportunities as possible. Some of my students do not have access to books or technology at home. My hope is to have enough books and resources for each of my students inside and outside of the classroom. As an educator, it is so comforting to see others who care about students and are willing to help support them. Anything helps and is greatly appreciated by myself and each one of my students.
