My Project

My students are students who have been diagnosed with various forms of learning disabilities, emotional disturbances, and autism spectrum disorders. As part of their education, my students work on a school magazine entitled 37th and Fourth as well as a school podcast entitled Echoes From the Hall. With the publication of both of these entities, my students have received grant funding to improve the technology associated with the production. In order to continue to amplify how my students work, it would be amazing to get a teleconverter lens that would allow them to take enhanced pictures that will continue to allow them to become familiar with the publication process of a magazine and a podcast. These materials will help my students build out our school magazine and podcast through print and visual media. Furthermore, the accessories will help protect what we hopefully get funded, and what we already have! Thank you so very much for looking to make a difference in the lives of my students!
