"It's Friday! Friday! Friday! Don't wanna work, I want to play!" This is a favorite chant of my fifth graders who visit at least three classrooms each Friday, singing and being praised for their hard work that they have completed that week.
The students' enthusiasm for celebrating their hard work permeates throughout the entire building.
They are positive role models for the younger grade levels in our school. I really strive to teach my students to be the positive role models I know they can be.
We also have a local National Guard Unit in our area and have a lot of military families with parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins serving in our beautiful country. Our staff also has the opportunity to focus on homeless students in our area by attending workshops and lectures to meet the needs of our students. We are dedicated to helping our students and their families in every way we can.
My Project
Our classroom is in need of a high definition document camera so that we can project important documents such as daily assignments, reports, books, and classroom projects for science and history.
Having this camera will make a huge difference in our classroom and will give students the opportunity to show off their amazing work.
They will get a sense of pride knowing that we will be able to see their hard work projected on the board. Our current document camera doesn't focus and it makes hard to see what we are learning and doing in the classroom. It is very frustrating as a teacher to hear students complain that they are unable to see exactly what is projected on the board.
This document camera will allow the students to see exactly what we are working on and make it easier for kids to stay on task and follow along. It will be really nice to finally project it and see it!
