My Students

Located in a sunny neighborhood, the Pregnant Minors High School serves students range from 14-18 and many are learning English as a second language. Young women can start at our school while they are expecting & continue after their baby is born. In January 2014, for the first time, we created a library at the school, a space that will include books & electronic resources for academics as well as pleasure reading for teenagers. We are also including a collection of bi lingual infant & toddler books so teen moms will be able to read to the little ones. 

My Project

Students love our library maker space and are always asking for more maker projects. Each week they work on large & small projects. But our walls above the book shelves are bare. So we would like to create some signs using large wooden letters.

All participating students will paint each letter then add embellishments to make these the most shiny, eye catching signs!

Students will work together and discuss color combinations & designs so the letters of word blend together to make a fun and colorful display.

Students will learn skills for team work as well as creative art design.
