[CASL-L] Middle School Makerspace

[Shannon McNeice]

Here's a glimpse of mine...My expensive pieces were all grant-funded. I
offer one activity a month, plus passive activities like bookmark making.

But I do have a decent budget to replenish supplies.

I also have had lots of fails: 3Doodler Pens (get jammed easily - only one
kid at a time), What's Your Word

(lots
of errors, used too many pieces), Duct Tape (they just use it up for
nothing), Zentangle (I liked it better than they did).
