I would love for my students to be able to gain woodworking skills and experience by participating in 6 one hour classes with a skilled woodworker from a nearby arts school. During these classes, my students will have the opportunity to construct 2 birdhouse libraries that will be placed around the school for all students to enjoy. My creative, students already love making models, piggy banks and small houses from Popsicle sticks and glue guns. This opportunity will give them a chance to take their natural interest in building and use it to create a functional piece of art that will hopefully promote creativity, literacy, and imagination throughout the school community. Exposure to print and has a humongous positive impact on the development of vocabulary and reading fluency. Our school does not currently have space for a library, but having small birdhouse-libraries will give all students the opportunity to share and discover books in a fun way. My students, who are in a small substantially separate special education classroom, sometimes feel isolated from their general education peers. I hope that building these libraries will be something that helps them connect with schoolmates and feel like a valuable part of the larger community.
