Learning Through A Camera Lens

Funded Jan 13, 2013

My students and I are incredibly grateful for your generosity to our classroom! Since the moment the cameras arrived, we have been taking them everywhere! They were eager to learn how to take photos and begin exploring and documenting our environment.

We jumped right into incorporating the cameras into our everyday curriculum. My students are having so much fun taking portraits of each other as part of our "All About Me" Unit, going on "Shape Hunts" for our geometry unit and documenting their work through photos. We are making "big books", writing about photos and creating new and exciting ways to use photography everyday. Every child learns differently and the cameras can offer a unique perspective.

The use of photography as a way to explore our learning environment and community has generated even more enthusiasm from my students than I had ever imagined! I can't thank you enough for your incredibly generosity!”

With gratitude,

Ms. Spergl
