Help me give my students digital cameras for our school's yearbook. This year we want to try something different for our yearbook. We want to have students in charge of capturing memories throughout the year.
As a teacher at a diverse school where classrooms are full of students varying in language and academic backgrounds, I try to really get to know and connect with each student even if it means researching their native language or meeting their academic needs based on their intelligences and life successes.
My students are eager learners with lots of questions.
I listen with an open mind, ready to create activities that allow them to explore their curiosities! Many of them are being raised in single parent households and receive a free lunch based on their socioeconomic status. As soon as they enter the classroom I focus on their ability to learn and grow. Many of them have little to no academic support at home due to work conflicts, language and other barriers. I may not be able to control their home lives, however, I can control their experience during the school day, and I always make sure it is packed full of fun, interactive and extendable learning.
My Project
Elementary school yearbooks are often crafted by teachers and staff members which means it is put together through the lens of an educator. This year, we want our yearbook pictures to be from the eyes of our scholars. It is their memories we want to remember and capture.
By providing each class with their own digital camera, students can take pictures of experiences they want to remember.
They will be the biggest contributors in creating something memorable and everlasting for staff, family members and peers. This year's yearbook will have a new point of view.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
