Today I had the pleasure of visiting Andrea Langelaar at Coast Meridian Elementary. She has begun experimenting with makerspace and had some great ideas to share. I love the challenge cards in holders she's posted on each centre and how they focus the making. And the creations have found a new home in the display case in the front hallway! The whole school community has enjoyed looking at them and the students are so proud of their work. She also let me in on a little secret: go to IKEA and look for the bin of loose parts. You can fill a bag for only $3!! Those little bits and bobs are a great addition to your maker materials. You can follow the making at Coast Meridian on Twitter at #meridianmakers. Follow Andrea on Twitter @AndreaLangelaar.
These look great!
ReplyDeleteAnd great use of the "trophy case" in the front hallway!
