I teach in a small, rural Title I school. Our school is truly the heart of the community. But we are a community formerly built on textile manufacturing. With our economy changing, we see a greater need for innovation. Typically, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) has been the driver of innovation. However, the arts are equally important to the development of creativity and innovation. My students are an active group of five and six year olds who look at empty boxes and bottle tops and see a cardboard car. They transform empty paper towel rolls into model rockets and plastic tubs into boats. They've turned empty wrapping paper rolls into marble tracks, and they've stacked empty boxes into skyscrapers. Their desire to design, to imagine, to create, is innate. Access to additional building materials will deepen their science, technology, engineering, arts, and math skills.
