Let's Do Some making!

Help me give my students more options for "making" in the Media Center.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The items on this list are for expanding the options for students to do some "making" in the Media Center Makerspace.

Students can be creative with Perler melting beads to make some colorful personalized creations.

Items associated with this activity are the pattern books, melting beads, trays, iron paper, and an iron press. This type of activity benefits students with direction following, patience, fine motor skills, and creativity.

With a sticker gem mosaic, students can work collaboratively to make a beautiful piece of art. Students would be welcome to add sticker gems to the mosaic whenever they are in the Media Center. Once complete, this artwork will be displayed in the Media Center with a list of all contributors.

Additional activities for the Makerspace area would include tic-tac-toe and Scrabble. Both games require students to work with others, plan strategy, and think before making a move. Scrabble is one way to practice word building and increase vocabulary. Jigsaw puzzles would further allow for students to work together collaboratively to complete a community project.
