My Project

Our classroom is full of imagination, and this Fujifilm Instax Mini EVO camera will help bring our ideas to life! Students will use instant photos as creative writing prompts, capturing real moments that inspire their stories.

Beyond writing assignments, we will document special memories, classroom celebrations, and student achievements.

This camera will also help with fundraisers—students can create photo booths or personalized keepsakes to support classroom projects. With your help, students can see their creativity develop right before their eyes—both in pictures and in their writing! Fostering student interests are an added bonus!
