My Students

These 700 middle school students range from 5th to 8th grade. Living just outside the largest city in Montana, many of these students come from a farming/ranching background. Over 28% of the students are on free and reduced lunch.

The middle school students are an eager group that thrive in hands-on learning environments.

The additional of a makerspace in the library has become a popular area for our curious explorers. These innovative thinkers are finding areas of interest that will expand far beyond the classroom.

My Project

This project is all about giving students opportunities to explore their individual interests! Students coming into the library will be able to engage in multiple makerspace areas. There is a duct tape station, electronic deconstruction station, origami station, magnet station, K'Nex station, and snap circuit station.

What I love about this project is that it gives students the chance to engage in cross curricular engagement!

Students will be exploring concepts in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics, while developing information and research skills. The makerspace is a time for them to choose an area of learning that transfers to college and career skills.
