My Students

With class sizes reaching 30+, our books are just too small! Please help me zoom in on knowledge using a document camera! They help us see all the details at once so we can discuss and keep a look out for more!

Our students come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the library is the place that equalizes them.

We have students from around the block and around the world. We have students that are learning English and that are learning other languages. Give to a school that has many cultures, diversity, and adversity!

My Project

Our students are so excited to learn new things. We are working on learning informational text features and it would be immensely helpful to be able to SEE the small details like captions or copyright dates, or find the page number using a table of contents. I am requesting a document camera so that my students can view new skills and concepts. Give us the tools to zoom in on details and open our minds to learning!

Every student will be impacted by this item because it will be used in the library.

Please help our students become more knowledgeable and excite their natural curiosity by giving them the tools to find information on their own!
