MY NAME IS AMY GURWOOD AND I TEACH 3RD GRADE AT BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. I AM FROM PHILADELPHIA (CITY OF BROTHERLY LOVE). I WENT TO ALL PHILADELPHIA SCHOOLS FROM KINDERGARTEN TO A MASTER'S DEGREE. I HAVE BEEN TEACHING AND WORKING WITH STUDENTS IN INNER CITY SCHOOLS FOR 18 YEARS. I HAVE BEEN TEACHING IN THE PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR 14 YEARS, AND THIS WILL BE MY 11th YEAR AT THE SCHOOL I TEACH AT. I LOVE TEACHING AND LEARNING NEW TECHNIQUES TO TEACH CHILDREN THE FUNDAMENTALS TO EXCEL IN ALL SUBJECTS. UNFORTUNATELY, IN ORDER TO DO THIS THINGS I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PURCHASE EDUCATIONAL THINGS IN ORFER TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE MY STUDENTS WITH A QUALITY EDUCATION. IT BECOMES VERY EXPENSIVE AND I AM GIVEN CLOSE TO NOTHING IN ORFER TO PURCHASE THINGS. ALSO, I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY THINK UP INNOVATIVE WAYS TO TEACH MY LESSONS WITH LIMITED SUPPLIES. I HOPE SOME DONORS CAN DONATE TO MY CLASSROOM.
