Media Center Makerspaces!

My students need items for our Makerspace stations that encourage play, creativity, exploration, discovery, cooperative learning, and fun!

My Students

Hello! I'm the library media specialist at a K-8 that serves 1100 students aged 4-15. We are a Title I school and many of our students come from impoverished backgrounds and are being raised in single parent homes or by grandparents. We are the first school exclusive to the neighborhood since the 1950s which is a big deal because the community is getting the education, attention, and love these kids deserve!

Our students love our school library and we are always hopping with activity!

We have a very active class rotation for book check out and our staff is amazing at brainstorming ideas for creative lessons and activities. We have a small Makerspace section used by all grade levels that encourage students to explore STEAM!

My Project

The Magnetic Tiles, Interlocking Builders and Snowflakes are a fantastic way to challenge students to build or create while subtly introducing them to geometry. The Snowflakes are a great resource for science and introducing students to the elements. Soap lab and crystal growing are safe and engaging science experiments we can complete outside of the lab!

Providing students with a variety of activities designed for all grade levels will encourage cooperative learning, critical thinking skills, and foster a love of learning for the sake of learning and discovery that will help students on their journey to be life-long learners.

The Build Your Own Video Game & Maze activities, as well as the Snap Circuits are a great way to enhance our coding and technology initiatives on campus.

Board games such as Spot It are great for building student communication and cooperative learning skills. They also allow for the development of vocabulary and symbol recognition in our emerging readers.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
