Help Shine a Light with a New Projector Bulb!

Funded Apr 27, 2018

The primary vehicle for instruction in my classroom is my SmartBoard. As a math teacher, a very important part of each lesson is showing students examples of how problems are done correctly. Chalkboards are, of course ancient history, and I have few usable white boards, which means that every note I make students copy, every problem we work out together, and every online resource I present to students is shown on the SmartBoard.

There are a lot of problems in Camden City School District, big and small. The big problems have to be dealt with at the District level, while the small ones are left to us classroom teachers. But often, it is the small problems that have the most immediate impact for students, and my small problem is a perfect example. I need a light bulb! But this is going to have a huge impact on my classroom immediately, because we are constantly struggling to read what is written on the SmartBoard, and are constantly struggling to clearly see the PowerPoint presentations and Youtube videos that I frequently use in my class.

This is my very first time turning to DonorsChoose for help, and it is gratifying to see how quickly you have responded. For one teacher in one classroom, your generosity has made an immediate impact, and this impact will continue for several years (for as long as the bulbs last!) So thank you very much, and I will continue to appreciate your generosity for years to come.”

With gratitude,
