Budget Narrative

There will be a handful of items needed to be purchased for this project. The largest of

which is a digital camera per student which we will be using for many days as well. We will also

be using a photo editing software to compile the student’s photos and written work. We will also

be needing SD cards for each camera. In addition to these items, students will also need a variety

of post-it notes. We will use Post-it notes at the end of some classes, as well as when students lay

out their final photo essay. These will help students visually lay out and manipulate their paper

before working on it in photoshop. On one day we have invited a guest speaker from within the

community to teach the students how to work their cameras and photoshop. While she is

volunteering, we would like to show her our gratitude with a Starbucks gift card. Please refer to

“Table 1” for a chart of our expenditures as well as where to find the product and product cost.

Cameras and photoshop will expose students to a new set of skills as well as give students a way

to visually represent an idea.

A small amount of this money will come from our class room allowance, and the rest will

come from a variety of places. We have asked each student to purchase their SD card as it is a

small do-able expense for them. I have also started a class GoFundMe. I have shared this with all

school parents as well as around the neighboring residence. In addition to this I have applied for

the NEA Foundation Student Achievement Grant, where our classroom can receive between

$2,000-$5,000 for materials and resources.
