My Students

Our students attend a small, rural school with an enrollment of 400 students in grades 9-12. Because funding is limited, our students have not had access to some of the resources in larger districts. Our students depend on resources in our school, and our collection of library books needs to be updated to provide resources to appeal to diverse interests. We are implementing independent reading time as a part of our English curriculum, and students need access to high interest books to foster a life-long love of reading. We also are looking to increase our use of STEM education and would like to start a mobile MakerSpace in our library for students to use whenever they choose.

My Project

Many of our students love to create and due to our being a small district, their opportunities are limited. Many common elective classes are not offered due to the size of the school. This causes some students to become disengaged in learning.

At JHS, we have a goal to reach and include all students by offering as many programs as possible.

By creating a mobile MakerSpace in the library, students will be able to access their creative side through sculpting, drawing, creating origami, and making recycled art. Students will share the materials requested for the MakerSpace area in the library by utilizing the books requested and supplies to engineer, create, and design the projects described in the books along with other designs they may create on their own or in groups. This space will include informational and how-to texts in addition to the materials that students will need. We hope to engage students by allowing them to create and design using higher order thinking skills and maybe help them find a hidden talent!
