Daly City, CA Grades 3-5

I am a second year teacher teaching 4th grade in an urban school in California. 70% of our students qualify for free and reduced lunch.

Our Title 1 school has limited resources to integrate project-based learning with the lack of access to technological resources and training.

I am pursuing a digital camera that will provide our 4th grade students with the tools of digital media to craft, record, share, and inspire real-world possibilities by using photos as a stimulus for literacy activities. By planning carefully, imagining our students' perspectives, and collaborating with our learning community, I will increase comfort and confidence in my classroom through engaging activities and curriculum. From simple collages to a school paper, I believe that using cameras in the classroom will inspire and motivate storytelling through personal experience while building our classroom community.

Your help in this format of storytelling will ensure that we become more creative, develop our communication skills, improve our verbal organizing skills, and expand our ability to empathize.
