Funded Nov 20, 2011My students and I would like to thank you for your generous contribution to our classroom. The canon digital camera has enabled my students to learn to connect ideas and written pieces to visual images in various subjects like science, social studies, and reading/writing. Through your contributions, my students have been able to learn how to use a point and shoot camera and were able to document their work. They were able to enhance their "how-to make" writing pieces by adding photographs next to the sequenced steps. They were able to document various science experiments and will soon be documenting caterpillars turning into butterflies. I appreciate your assistant with making this possible. ”
