Support Mr. Ramos' classroom with a gift that fosters learning.
My students are 9th and 10th graders with special needs. Due to my young age and similar background, they relate to me and trust when I say that I know what it's like to have to overcome such overwhelming obstacles to obtain a better education. My school is located in a low income community; henceforth why it's also a Title I school. Graduation rates remain low; however, my students know that I will do whatever it takes in my first year of teaching to ensure that they get the most out of their education. Because supplies are scarce, I have very limited quantities of books and technology, no printer and no speakers. When videos must be shown, we gather around in a circle around my laptop. Furthermore, my students are very enthusiastic about reading as they are constantly asking what stories I'm going to be introducing to them. I'd love to surprise them with brand new books; something they're not accustomed to.
