Makerspace Update:
Our school Makerspace has been in full swing for a few months! Watching students ‘make” has been the highlight of Ms. Terry and my year so far. We have seen firsthand how Makerspaces promote critical thinking skills and encourage students to use design thinking to solve real-world problems.
Thank you to everyone who has helped stock our school Makerspace with plastic lids, bottles, containers, cereal boxes, fabric, yarn, string and so much more! Our Makers have benefited and enjoyed their making each week.
We would like to ask for your continued support by sending in any of the following materials that we could use in our school-wide maker projects. These are our most popular consumables and therefore run out quickly: white model magic, popsicle sticks, pipe cleaners, all types of tape, Qtips, paper plates and foam pieces.
If you are willing to donate any of the following items, please drop them off to room 115 or the school office. If you have any further questions or think you have something not listed that might be useful to our Makerspace, please email me at springj@bsd405.org
Thank you in advance for helping us collect these items and supporting our creative explorations!
Sincerely,
Ms. Spring & Ms. Terry
