  • Mr. Art Teacher; I Can't Seeeeeeeee!!!

    Funded Dec 20, 2009

    To our generous donors,

    Thank you for your generous contribution to the Art Program. We are a comprehensive high school serving students in the city. Many of our students come to the art program with natural talent and passion regardless of the circumstances and difficulties that they face in their day to day life. The Document Camera will greatly improve the learning experience for our students.

    Success for students in the art program will provide a unique opportunity for a college focus and possible scholarship opportunities. While many of our students may not have the choice to go to college because of financial restrictions, a passion for art and the right tools can lead to a portfolio worthy of financial aid. In addition, that possibility helps lay the groundwork for striving for academic success as well.

    So Far my classes have greatly benefited in two projects for the use of the document camera. First the students learned how to enlarge a photograph of themselves using a grid. The second project was the creation of clay portraits. This two assignments are particularly difficult to demonstrate on a small scale. The ability to create examples in while the class looks on was invaluable. The ability to work at a normal size and have the image blown up to screen size made it so much easier for the students grasp the techniques. ”

    With gratitude,

    Mr. Dowdy

    This classroom project was brought to life by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and 12 other donors.

  • Read Along Children's Literature

    Funded Dec 14, 2009

    Thank you all for your generous donations to my classroom. The children's books and read along Cd's that you all donated have helped my students build on their love of reading. My students have used them several times already during our language arts station activities. The books and Cd's are enjoyed by all students. They enjoy reading the great selection of stories that came in the sets. I will be able to use these throughout the school year and many years to come.

    Since I am a first year teacher I was limited to the resources I had available in the classroom. Without your help my students would never have had these fantastic resources. For beginning readers, listening centers help gain student's interest and love for reading as well as build on literacy skills.

    Thank you again for all your support!”

    With gratitude,

    Mrs. D.
