Technology for Teaching!

My students need an LCD projector and a CD player.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. DeFazio's classroom raised $941

This project is fully funded

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! I am a teacher in a very poor, low income district. We cannot afford a lot of the nice, new, shiny pieces of technology that our students need so badly!

This year, our district was looking at furloughing 30 teachers! Thankfully they were able to shift and move things around to save all the jobs. However, this left us with basically no money for anything for our classroom. My kids need so badly the help of visual aids in the class. To just hear the information is not enough, they need to see it with their eyes. This LCD projector would mean the world to us. The CD player is also such a necessity. We read our story along with a CD player to try to keep up our fluency rates. However, it's a day to day game to try to get our current CD player to work. Can you help us?

By getting these 2 pieces of equipment, our entire curriculum could be enriched. My science PowerPoint's, along with math and reading games could be seen by all with your help.

Please make it possible for my students to have the best chance for success with your donation. I do my best every single day, but sometimes we still fall short. If I could have these tools at my disposal, it would make my day, as well as my students' days better!
