New Year, New Needs

Help me give my students some items, like books, camera cards and cardstock paper for our classroom to use for future projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Runion's classroom raised $160

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students apply at the beginning of the year to assist with our yearbook. They are allowed to take pictures, pick the yearbook design, among other duties. The camera cards will allow students to have their own camera card to use when they check out the camera. They will have to take pictures for the yearbook, but also to put one photo up for auction in the spring.

The books and card stock will be items that we will use in upcoming projects.

We read Mr. Popper's Penguins every year and the current class books are falling apart at the seams. The card stock will be used with the class Cricut for titles and shapes on project displays.
