My Students

Do you remember your greatest moments in kindergarten? Most of us probably remember a few events here and there. I am requesting a digital camera, a memory card, and a case for the digital camera so that my graduating kindergarten students can capture these favorite moments.

I teach special and general education kindergarten students.

They attend a Title I school in Brooklyn, NY. My students love to take pictures and they are very photogenic. They are so cute and adorable. We perform every month for the school and it would be great if we had a digital camera to take pictures of my little stars while they are performing.

My Project

I am requesting a digital camera and a memory card to be able to capture fun and memorable events for my students. I am working on creating a scrapbook-like year book for my students and a digital camera will allow me to add pictures to it. I am also requesting a storage case for the camera so that we can keep the camera in a safe place.

This project will allow me to take pictures of special events, trips, shows, and parties that my students take part in.

This project will allow me to capture pictures of special moments and give them to my students so they can remember the moments forever.
