Visual Learners!!

My students need a document camera to aid my visual learners since my SmartBoard is broken. They also need flash cards for a strong foundation of basic math skills to succeed.

My Students

Every morning my class starts off with a call and response greeting with a brief introduction to our daily lesson. "Good Morning Class!" response: "Good Morning Mrs. H" We'll start with...

The student population is extremely diverse and many students are bilingual.

I'm responsible for teaching Math, Science, and Writing to the 40 students enrolled in 4th grade. In addition to the mixture of both general and special education students, I work in a Title 1 school in the District of Columbia, which means the majority of the students I teach live in low-income housing and require government assistance.

My Project

My school recently split into 2 schools so getting supplies for both buildings has been a struggle. I've purchased supplies, furniture, books and rewards from my own budget, but my students need more. I don't have a Smart Board in my room at all! I'm struggling to reach my visual learners. I have a high concentration of students with ADHD, as well as the largest number of females students in my 28 years of teaching! Studies have shown that female students, as well as students with learning disabilities, need tons of visual representations and hands-on learning activities to keep students engaged in their daily lessons. Additionally, the math abilities of my students range from 1st to 6th-grade levels.

Having a document camera would help keep students engaged while I model math and writing skills.

They will be able to see what I'm writing to help better organize their thoughts and assignments. Writing is a very difficult subject to teach without the proper curriculum and materials. I don't have any of the resources I need. I've tried using my white board but it's very time-consuming. Document cameras are the equivalent of overhead projectors, and you remember how great and fun those were!
