• 3:08 Maker Mat Projects: March 17-23

  In our new E-Learning format, students in Makerspace have been using a "Maker Mat" - a creative choice board designed to promote creativity and inventive thinking at home. Students may choose the activities they'd like to create using whatever materials they can find at home, such as paper goods, items from nature and crafting supplies. It has been *AMAZING* to see students' creativity in their project submissions, either via e-mail (K-2) or Google Classroom (3-6). Here is a *brief* snapshot of the work students have been creating at home. I hope they put a smile on your face, just like they did for me. Be on the lookout for more projects once we gain more media consent! Take care! :)

  Snake Eyes Dice is a fun game we play from time to time that serves several purposes: take a quick break to celebrate great work by the whole class; builds community; teaches students how to compete in a friendly way while getting to know each other better; reinforces math computation skills which will be used in Science class often. Ask your child how to play it at home:)
