Well, my students are just awesome! I'm sure a lot of teachers say this, but mine are the best! I have a great class of 2nd graders. They are determined, sweet, caring, smart, silly, and just love to learn. We have great discussions in class and they are constantly wanting to learn more about the subjects we are covering in class. Our school is a title 1 school and when the funding is there, we do get some of the technology needs in the classroom. Right now, I have to take the time to let the students go to the library during normal school hours. Our classroom only has 2 computers for 28-30 students. If they need to find information about the science or social studies we are covering, they usually have to do it at home (most don't have computers at home), come in before school, stay after school, go during their recess time, or use one of the two computers in our room after they are done with their work.
