My Project

Students love to express themselves creatively. Having the opportunity to create their own art and then make it into a button is a great way for students to take pride in not only their art, but their ideas too.

Students will love turning their art and ideas into buttons they can proudly wear or display.

Having a makerspace area in the library allows students to engage with literacy in different ways. Fun designs can be made featuring favorite book characters or to promote special causes that students care about. Students will collaborate and share creative ideas while learning something new!
