I am an elementary school library media tech and Makerspace instructor that is always looking for ways to improve and bring new experiences to our students. Our school's student population is mostly from families with low socioeconomic status. We have many children that don't have the opportunity to spend time at home reading and experience hands-on learning.
Our school is a Title I school and with that demographic of students, they often lack experiences and hands-on learning that other schools may provide.
We have many at-grade level and above-grade-level students, but we also have a large number of students that are below grade level.
Our funding is stretched thin making it difficult to continue to replenish supplies needed for Makerspace learning time.
My Project
These sewing machines and supplies will enhance the created library environment, which is discovering a hidden or new talent. My library is a place that is filled with flexible seating options, a new Breaker Space area, science experiments, and Makerspace activities.
Every addition to my library space has my students' needs and desires first.
I feel that it is important to expose my students to as many experiences as I can while they are in elementary school, with sewing being one of those experiences that I would like to provide.
Students will be able to choose a project that they would like to make. They will work on this project from start to finish.
