A Teacher Is Born

{Class Field Trip :: Berry Picking}
In 2006 Josh found his calling.  He had been working for two years as a sign language interpreter/staff assistant in an elementary school and one day he came home and told me he wanted to be a teacher.  He had witnessed a student being taught the same lesson over and over, and finally, that afternoon, the light bulb had gone off.  The student had finally grasped the concept.

A teacher was born.

Now, three years into his teaching career here in Marshall, Josh's classroom has some needs that are beyond the scope of our budget.  Using the site DonorsChoose.org, he has set up fundraising to get his classroom a Mac Mini.

The Mac Mini is a tiny computer that will link directly up to his SMART board, so his computer doesn't have to travel from his desk to the front of the room every time he uses it.  The SMART board is an interactive display that he uses for everything.  The Mac Mini will improve the classroom and allow students to take charge of their learning.

Here's a link to the site for his DonorsChoose Account.

Please also feel free to share a link to this blog post or his DonorsChoose account.
Thank you so much for choosing to support Josh's classroom.
These kids deserve it!
