My Project

Teaching Strategies is our main curriculum for our PreKindergarten students. We have adopted a new version which is tailored specifically for the year before kindergarten. One of these studies is called the Camera Study.

During this study students are to learn about cameras, pictures, videos and how to be creative with these materials.

With the cameras and photo paper, students will be able to take pictures of their class, creations that they make and be able to display their creativity in the classroom. This may also be many of my students first experiences with cameras and pretend cameras.

I believe that with these materials, I can teach the Camera Study as it should be taught and make it a memorable study for my PreKindergarten students.
