A Glimpse in Time

My students need a digital camera so that they can create projects and be able to share images taken in regards to different assignments or projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hruska's classroom raised $242

My Students

Do you remember the first time you took a picture as a child? What it felt like to see the pictures you took and to be able to share them with those around you? The students in my class are wanting to do just that, but don't have a digital camera to do it.

My students are from a beach city in California.

They are a dynamic bunch of students who are driven to learn and want to learn by using technology that they can get their hands on. They want to strive to be the best and are our future doctors, teachers, photographers, and so on. No child should be held back due to funding, and by having this camera, they can move forward and begin to take learning into their own hands and show what students see through the cameras lens.

My Project

One of the standards that they learn about is their community. They will be able to use this camera to take pictures of the community whether it be people or buildings. They can create a book or project with these pictures to help teacher others about where they live and the important aspects that make up a community.

No child should be held back due to funding, and by having this camera, they can move forward and begin to take learning into their own hands and show what students see through the cameras lens.
