We Need an ELMO, Not A Stuffed Animal

My students need to visually see the writing process of each other, their read aloud books projected onto a big screen, science experiments projected for everyone to see and to share their work after a lesson.

My Students

My students are gifted and talented students that come from Williamsburg, New York, and surrounding neighborhoods. They are bright and need to stay focused during various lessons. When engaged, they love to learn and manipulate materials.

My gifted students have multiple ways in which they learn.

They enjoy being able to see, up close and personal, everything I'm doing, whether it be conducting a science experiment or editing another student's work. Students also enjoy being able to see what I'm reading during reading, writing and science lessons. The ELMO will provide for better readability within my classroom environment.

My Project

I have taught with an ELMO for many years and have found it to be very beneficial. Currently, I have just transitioned to a new school and my school does not have a document camera.

I am asking for a generous donation from some of you out there, who can help fund this project, so I don't have to buy this essential piece of technology with my own money.

Many teachers out there, if asked, will tell you that they find a document camera to be an extremely beneficial resource to teach with. I thank you all for taking the time out to read my plea.
