FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Oza's classroom raised $199

My Project

I have 22 amazing 3rd graders that are extremely curious, creative, and eager to learn! We strive to use technology to deepen understanding and make lessons interactive. However, our classroom lacks a visual tool that can bring lessons to life for every student.

An Elmo document camera will help me project detailed materials onto a screen, enabling students to better grasp complex concepts.

Whether it's demonstrating science experiments, annotating texts, or show student work, this camera will be a game-changer for engagement and collaboration.

This tool will be used daily in lessons to support visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners, ensuring every student feels included and can thrive.
