 * Justifications:**


 * Computers-** We need these 3 new computers because many educational software programs that the children need cannot run on outdated computers. The children need computers that will run with the speed of their learning. We still have 5 outdated computers, that can run with older software programs and we believe just 3 new computer will be sufficient.


 * Software-** Since we are teaching Geography, we decided that geography-based software was our main target. We also needed Microsoft Office, as that is an essential to the classroom, and at a lower cost. Yes, our new computers come with Office Starter, but we needed the entire software for our classroom. We did not use the rest of the budget, in case we needed additional programs or computers later on in the year.
