My students need 15 digital cameras for student use.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Johnson's classroom raised $502
This project is fully funded
I teach 5th grade at a small school in a hard working, blue-collar community. Our students are very enthusiastic and eager to learn but they tend to have limited life experiences from which to draw for their writing.
They have consistently fallen short on writing assessments. They struggle with giving vivid descriptions and making meaningful connections to engage the reader.
A class set of digital cameras would allow students take pictures of their world and use those pictures as a spring board. The writing possibilities are endless....newsletters, poetry, short stories, presentations. Students would be motivated to write about their world as they see it using the pictures for inspiration. In addition to enhancing and improving their writing skills, students will have the opportunity to integrate technology in to the writing process as they upload pictures, produce slide presentations and illustrate their writing.
Digital camera use in the classroom has benefits across the curriculum...from creative writing to scientific research. Writing is a life skill. By funding this project, you will help students get past that "writer's block" and become more proficient writers.
