Students are smiling and enjoying creating in the library. \r\n My students are excited any time they get to create or design. This leads to many other skills they will need in life. Creativity. design, cooperative learning, and much more. The smiles that came from the students as they were working said it all.\r\n One of the projects we did last week was to read the book \"Frakencrayon.\" Students then created their own Frankencrayon from parts and pieces.
