My class is a diverse group of children from a city in Southern New Hampshire. They are in 5th grade and preparing to move up to middle school in the fall. They are a creative group of kids who love being challenged; however, there are various learning styles within the class, and I have found that a hands-on approach tends to meet the needs of the children most efficiently. Our school is dedicated to providing the best possible education for all the students, but technology is far behind what is necessary for these children. The children would thrive with a more technological approach to learning, and I am confident that an LCD projector would be the gateway to a more engaging academic environment.
