[ISLMA-Share] Makerspaces

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I have 1st and 2nd grade for 45 min each week. One week is a literacy week and one week is a steam week. The 3rd-5th graders come twice a week, once for steam and once for literacy. I did this on purpose because of the reading issue but it is a very hectic schedule. Next year I may have all kids on the one week literacy and one week steam schedule.

But instead of ending or changing the makerspace, I increased our reading participation.  I started a book challenge and got more students and teachers to participate in the state reading programs.  Students are also learning to create things that we will sell to raise money and we started a video and sound recording studio.  They are still using the "makerspace", but are reading too.  You can e-mail me for more information.

Subject: Re: [ISLMA-Share] Makerspaces We can’t win!;)We do a lot of literacy activities in our makerspace, which is really more of a production studio with a green screen, stop-motion equipment, building materials, and an audio recording station. A few weeks ago 6th grade students came there in groups with their ELA classes and created products (movies, stop-motion animations, etc.) explaining different types of figurative language (similes, metaphors, hyperbole). Students have also made book reviews and summaries in the past in our makerspace. I don’t know if this will help kids read more, but it is a way to connect literacy to makerspaces!Megan From: islma-bounces at list.railslibraries.info [mailto:islma-bounces at list.railslibraries.info]On Behalf Of Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association

Subject: [ISLMA-Share] Makerspaces I have teachers and principals suggesting that students are no longer reading because of our makerspaces in the library and that this has become a problem. Does anyone have makerspaces that tie directly to literature?Thanks,Amy PS Trying to appease both ends :)  Amy BendallDistrict Library Media SpecialistAntioch #34Antioch, IL You can find magic wherever you look.
