Every week, fourth-grade walks down the stairs and lets their creative juices flow. When we visit Seabury's makerspace, we craft hot air balloons, swords and shields, costumes, toys, decorations, and more!
The school's makerspace is a well-stocked room full of every crafting item you can imagine. When visiting, each student decides what they'd like to make and then they get to work! Some weeks, a prompt for creating is given (such as creating a classroom decoration). Most of the time, though, students are free to design and create whatever they'd like.
Having a chance to visit the makerspace each week has helped our class grow more confident. When things don't work as planned, students learn to try again! Consistently crafting in this way helps students develop their creativity and problem solving skills. Plus, it's so much fun!
