Can We Please Get a Projector This School Year?

My students need a projector and cable in order to watch their lessons on the white board.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. L.'s classroom raised $566

My Students

My students go to school on the West side of Chicago. They come from low-income homes that want the best for their children but don't have the resources to assist in their education. Since funding is low in the schools, the students are at more of a disadvantage than other schools. Our students need to have the technology to grow and develop in this society. This is the era of technology and to not be able to have it at home or school puts our students way behind. We need the students to succeed and become the best they can be regardless of where they live or go to school. Every student should have technology in their school!

My Project

Why not expose our students to technology at their beginning years of life, which they will continue to see as they get older? It is so vital for our students to start getting exposed in preschool to technology than later in life. Right now they are eager and open to every aspect of learning so why not get them the exposure they need to grow and be successful in their future?

By having the Epson projector & cable, the students will be able to see their lesson on the whiteboard instead of hearing the teachers read the stories daily.

Students get so bored of the same old instruction from the olden days. The projector will bring the students brilliant/vibrant lessons that they will be in tune to. The projector connects to the computer so they will be also be exposed to language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies lessons/videos online to further expose them to meet their educational goals. This projector will bring so much learning to the students, which will enable them to reach their educational goals.

By supporting this project, the students will finally be in tune with the new age of technology that they haven't experienced before in the classroom. This projector & cable will give the students a whole new perspective on learning. They will be given daily lessons that they will be totally engaged in as well as learn more exciting things from the Internet being connected to the projector. Why not invest in our children right now when they are so open to learning? Please support this project!
