I teach 3rd grade. My students would benefit from additional funding because I would be able to purchase book binding material, toner for our copier, challenging educational games, and other project materials that would allow me to implement strategies and activities that will help spark creativity and critical thinking. My students crave innovative lessons involving class sets of literature books that require many supplemental teaching materials and guides. Its so important to be able to provide my students with the best learning opportunities and sometimes it can get very costly for the teacher.
