With budget cuts, experts believe it is more important than ever to give teachers the support they need in the classroom.
One of those teachers looking for help is Victoria Frangoulis who teaches second grade at Spalding Drive Elementary in Sandy Springs.
She’s in the running for a set of Nintendo DS handheld devices for her entire classroom through the Pepsi Refresh Project.
“I’d like to ask for a class set of Nintendo DSi machines along with several games to aide their learning in not only Language Arts but in Mathematics,” Victoria wrote in her application for the grant. “I have used the pictochat program to practice skills such as: singular/plural nouns, contractions, and possessive nouns.”
