My Project
Thanks to generous donors through Donors Choose, I have received board and card games to house in my school library, and THE GAMES ARE A HUGE HIT! For the most part, our students are CHOOSING not to be on their electronic devices, not on Chromebooks or cell phones; they are CHOOSING to play checkers, Uno, Battleship, or Headbands. And I truly enjoy watching our students communicating, collaborating, and, yes, even competing (nicely, BTW), using the games we have. I love overhearing the "No, man! You just sunk my battleship!" with the laughter and friendly taunts, or the "No, no, no; you can't do that!" with giggles following when they play Uno.
Now, I want to give them a crafting space.
I'd like to be able to offer them low-tech activities where they can get a little crafty--jewelry making, button making, paper crafts like origami. Through the crafting station, they'll be able to build friendships with the passing of a friendship bracelet, or they'll be able to showcase their individual creativity with keychains and buttons. The carts will be used to store and organize all the materials and make them easily accessible to the students.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
