My Students

What do you remember most from your grade school experiences? Learning the proper placement of a comma, or the after school club where you got to design, build and test?

Our school is a K-8, Project-Based Learning STEAM school.

Our teachers integrate all of the subject areas into projects, which ultimately result in deeper units of study for our children.

Students at our school come up with driving questions, like, “How can we design and build a coop to raise healthy chickens?” or, “How can we use light and sound patterns to transfer information?”

They also love to read. We are constantly putting new books out on the shelves that our students gobble up.

My Project

Having more contact paper will allow us to cover the large number of softcover books we have in our Media Center processing room. We have a large backlog of brand new books that need to go out on shelves, but cannot until they are covered with plastic protectant.

Having the contact paper will make this process go quickly and generate a lot of excitement in our students.

They love seeing new books on the shelves because it makes their Media Center relevant. They also know that we are constantly updating our collection so they don't get bored with our selection of materials.
