My Students

Help put a camera in the hands of my students and make their memories come alive!

I teach 4th grade in a small rural school.

My students do not always get the opportunities to go on vacations with their families so the field trips we go on as a class are very important. Our past field trips have included a transportation museum, science museum, play and a historical house.

My Project

As the teacher/bus driver it is hard for me to take pictures on these trips. I would love to have a class camera that the students could use on their own. This would be a great opportunity for them to learn responsibility while creating memories and having fun. The camera could also be used in the classroom to record poems, projects and lessons to be played back for review.

Your donation to this project will have a long-lasting impact and can touch the lives of students with a variety of learning styles while making real-life connections.

It will make class fun, rewarding, and memorable for all students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
