[CASL-L] PreK-2 Makerspace

[Jane Martellino]

Strawbees are great for many tasks. We created some math lessons with gr 3
on area and perimeter and square units.
Kinders made space ship reading Mae Among the Stars.

We love keva planks and kids designed a home big enough to accommodate
everyone in the book Relatives Came by Cynthia Rylant.

Also, we collect all kinds of recycled items for all sorts of things.

If funds are available it’s worth investing in Dash robots.  We use  code
and go mouse for k/1.

Big item purchase but awesome is Rigamajig which all grades use for a
variety of experiences.
