Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 26

The digital cameras purchased with this grant were used by many students for various projects and events. One of the biggest projects was our school yearbook where the Photography Club was able to go around the school and capture photos needed for the yearbook.Also, students could use them to take photos during our Leadership Day event. These photos are used as evidence for our event to share with Leader in Me. Students in my homeroom class could also use the cameras to capture exciting learning opportunities to be used on our class social media page. Having these cameras gave students a beginning taste of what it’s like to be a photographer and work on a creative team.

Original Grant Overview

Goal

My goal is to allow students to become leaders of our classroom and school event photos. 

 

What will be done with my students

Students will take turns each week as our class photographers using digital cameras. They will take photos of learning activities in the classroom that can be shared with parents and they will photograph school-wide events. At the end of the year, the photographs will be compiled into a video for the classes to enjoy. 

 

Benefits to my students

Students will have the ability to be leaders of our school by documenting important events and lessons happening at VME and in our classroom. They will be able to submit some of their photos to the yearbook staff for consideration for the yearbook. They will also get to practice the art of taking photos. For students who enjoy photography and want to learn more through research, they will be able to do so during our Genius Hour projects.
