My Project

My students are very curious during our neighborhood walks and park visits. They often notice things in the natural world around them, like worms peeping out of the soil after the rain and new flowers growing on the trees. I want to give my students the opportunity to capture these special moments with a classroom instant film camera that can we can bring outdoors with us.

It's so rewarding for my students to instantly have access to a photo that they capture as young photographers.

An instant film camera is extremely helpful for me because I will be able to write down each student's name immediately after their photo prints, so each child can identify their photographs from their peers'.
