Fifth Grade Makerspace

We need your help in stocking our fifth grade makerspace. A makerspace is an area where students can create, invent, and learn. Often times, a challenge may presented and students are asked to create a strategy to accomplish that challenge, carry it out; often times with a partner, and then revise the plan based upon the outcomes.

                                         

Below is a list of suggested supplies which would greatly improve the class makerspace. If you can help, just send materials in with your child. As you will see, many of the items on the list are materials that are often times thrown away or recycled.
