My Project

When my students come to the library, they are ready for a break from their classroom and just need to move. These pedal bikes will help occupy some of my busier students when I'm doing a read aloud, or teaching them a quick lesson.

I currently have about 5 Rubiks Cubes on my Makerspace cart and they are definitely a favorite item amongst my students.

There are often arguments over who gets one during our choice time. Adding more will give more students a chance to work on solving these fun puzzles!
