A Thousand Words

My students and I need a digital camera to record our activities, artwork, and projects throughout the school year.

This project expired on January 21, 2009.

My first grade students are from low-income families and come to school each day eager to learn art, music, science, math, reading, and about their community.

Pictures will help us remember our learning activities and projects, and help me reinforce learning objectives and procedures. Unfortunately our classroom camera was stolen last year and we are unable to record the events in our classroom. Our parents don't have extra money in their budget to help buy a replacement camera.

A new camera, that would be locked up safely, would help us record our work. Once the pictures are downloaded, they can be printed on my photo printer/scanner, and added to scrapbooks that will go home at the end of the year. The pictures would also be saved to my SnapFish account so that we can create class books that demonstrate action words, classroom procedures, and community involvement.

By donating funds to our project, you will help the students capture their first grade year in a permanent record book. The parents will be able to see how their child has grown and developed throughout their year. The students will also feel empowered as they see how much they learned throughout their first grade school year. Your donation will make their memories worth a thousand words by giving them pictures of their experiences.
