My Students

I am a second grade Special Education teacher in New York. My school is a Title I school, and the majority of its students receive free lunch.

For the past three years, my students have celebrated the end of the academic year by hosting an art gallery featuring original student works inspired by master artists.

Last year’s art gallery was our biggest and most successful yet—we were able to host our event outside of the classroom and in a local store, thanks to our partnership with a nonprofit organization dedicated to revitalizing the business district of our area. We are hoping this year’s art gallery will be even bigger and better than last year’s with the addition of student photography. That’s right! I’d love to teach my second graders how to use a digital camera, upload the photos to the classroom computer, and maybe even edit their snapshots! But in order to do this, we need access to a set of kid-friendly digital cameras.

My Project

If we are lucky enough to receive this classroom set, which comes with six easy-to-use, durable digital cameras, my students will practice taking pictures throughout the year—not JUST for our art gallery in the spring! From documenting the results of science experiments to capturing our achievements and special events throughout the year, there are plenty of times when having a classroom full of mini-photographers will come in handy! It’s 2010! In order to keep our students interested in school and to prepare them for the digital world that they were born into, we need to expose them to the technology they will certainly encounter as adults. While the teaching of academic subjects is and always will be a priority in my class, we can’t ignore exposure to the arts and technology.

Your donation to this project will allow my second grade students with disabilities access to a world outside of the traditional content areas.

This digital camera classroom kit will promote creativity and mastery of technology and keep the arts alive in the classroom!
