This Year Ms. A got invited to participate
in a program called Maker Space.
Basically its a program for
self starters and independent workers.
They get to choose their own projects and have
a dedicated space for their creative outlet.
For Ms. A this was like Heaven!
An entire hour to just work on her own
without rules (mostly) or interruption (mostly).
At the end of the year they have an open house
where parents and all the students get to
come through and ask questions.
All the different projects laid out reminded me
a bit of a science fair.
But it was fun to see what everyone was working on
and see Ms. A's project that she had been
talking about ALL YEAR!
This gigantic creation is a diorama of a camp.
Complete with Campers, tents campfires,
the river, outhouses and even a very tall gate.
She learned all kinds of things about
construction, scale, and material choice.
There were glass beads, Popsicle sticks, fabric,
tooth picks, sea shells, yarn, paper, cardboard,
straws, pom poms, plastic cups, tape, hot clue,
white glue, staples, as well as decorations and
drawings with colored pencil, markers, and pen.
Seriously This girls was in creative heaven!!
