My Students

A book can take you anywhere. A book can take you places that you can only dream about! However, we do not have the resources available to purchase enough books for all our students during small group instruction. By using this technology, we could project books onto our whiteboard.

I have the pleasure of teaching some of the hardest working students in the state of Missouri.

Our students are enthusiastic, dedicated, and ready to learn. However, we lack the resources to help them become twenty-first century learners. This is your chance to help a small farming community. These are wonderful kids from wonderful families. Many of these students do not even have the Internet or personal computers in their homes. This will be your chance to help us help our students!

My Project

We are requesting a projector so we can utilize current technology. Through the Internet, there are so many books available that we could project onto a screen and use for the whole class. We would not need to purchase individual books or transparencies. We would be able to put our books "UP IN THE AIR". We would also be able to learn phonics, spelling, vocabulary, and practice fluency using an overhead projector.

For twenty-one years, I have watched our students strive to be the best.

=In our small farm community, through hard work and dedication, we have turned out doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, and most trades known today. We have done this with very few resources. We are very frugal and watch every penny we spend in our small district. It would be nice to once have one of the luxuries of the 'big' schools. Please help us put our stories "UP IN THE AIR"!
