I work in a low income, Title 1 school in Utah. Funding is very limited for additional materials. With the nature of my position, I do not receive teacher money at all. I receive the bare minimum (pencils and small boxes of crayons). I supply and over see all the reading for two elementary schools in addition to teacher the kindergarten extended day program. These are students who are struggling to learn in the regular kindergarten classroom. Because of class size the regular classroom is limited with hands-on material. Also hands-on material is limited because of the new common core programs implemented in our district. Students learn differently and I love to supply a new way for students to learn; however, I do not have the funding. I need a lot of interactive material for students to manipulate and learn in centers.
