Capture Our Dreams with a Digital Camera!

My students need a digital camera, an HP memory card and a camera case to document their learning in the classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Jones-Lucas's classroom raised $339

This project is fully funded

My Students

A picture is worth a thousand words! When you view a photograph, your mind instantly goes back to that moment. You remember everything! I would like to use this camera to capture learning moments in the classroom and share the photos with my students!

I teach twenty-one wonderful students in an all day Kindergarten classroom in a high-need community.

My classroom is hands- and brains-on, and we love to learn from one another and through music. We love to sing and dance. My goal is to inspire my students to believe in themselves and become lifelong learners. They have made my life brighter, and I would like to brighten theirs in return!

My Project

The digital camera, HP memory card, and camera case I requested will be perfect for our classroom! My students love looking at pictures of themselves! Without fail, they always talk about how they remember wearing the particular outfit. Then, they describe what they were doing at that specific moment in time. Until now, I have been using my personal camera in the classroom. However, it has recently quit working. I have been borrowing cameras from other teachers when I know a great learning opportunity is about to happen. However, many spontaneous moments have been lost. When I am able to take quality photos of the kids, I like to give the students the photos. It means the world to my students and parents to have those invaluable memories captured!

You can help us make memories of our learning!

With your help, I can provide my students with photos of cherished memories. My students are wonderful and very deserving! I hope you can help to restore this component of our classroom environment that has been lost! Your donation can make a difference!
