With these funds I will make our classroom more engaging and interactive through the use of technology and hands on activities.  I will purchase:

-  ($100) A document camera to project images of the books and graphic organizers we are using.  This way students can read or work along with me as I explain how to complete activities.    http://www.amazon.com/Ziggi-HD-High-Definition-Document-Camera-CDVU-04IP/dp/B008DBF5Z8

-  ($150) A classroom set of headphones.  At Bache-Martin we have access to several computer-based reading and math support programs that engage students in learning words, letter sounds, addition, subtraction and much more.  In order to use these programs the students will need headphones.  http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-RP-HT21-Lightweight-Headphones-Port/dp/B00004T8R2/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1442885813&sr=8-6&keywords=classroom+headphones

- ($30) Mac adapter.  So I can attach my computer to the projector and show images from the document reader or educational websites. http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Mini-DisplayPort-Adapter-MB572Z/dp/B009K916ZK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1442939554&sr=8-2&keywords=mac+projector+adapter

- ($20) Computer Speakers.  So we can show educational clips about science and social studies topics and bring them to life for the class.  http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-980-000417-Speakers-Z130/dp/B003CP0OT2/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1442939435&sr=1-7&keywords=computer+speakers&refinements=p_72%3A1248879011

- ($100) Paper supplies - throughout the year we need construction paper, poster board, writing paper, copy paper, and notebooks to complete or make our word sorts, sequencing activities, graphic organizers, books, and final products.  We need to have the resources to be able to express ourselves creatively through our products.  This money will also go to replace any broken or lost school supplies through out the year.  http://www.amazon.com/Post--Self-Stick-Easel-Inches-30-Sheet/dp/B00006IA9F/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1442940084&sr=1-1&keywords=large+teaching+paper
