Makerspace Update

Dear Parents,

First I would like to give a BIG HEARTFELT THANK YOU, to all who have donated to the makerspace.  Every contribution has been greatly appreciated.

The pumpkin elevators were a great success. Our students collaborated to make 37 elevators.  


Right now our makerspacer is full, but I would like to highlight some projects that are coming up and the supplies that will be needed.  Paper rolls go fast so we can always use those.

The week of November 6 - 10, students will be making their own marble maze. If every student makes one, we will make over 300 mazes. Materials needed for this endeavor are:
 
- pipe cleaners
- craft sticks
- box lids (from cases of paper or the short boxes from Costco)
- masking tape 
- marbles (lots of them)

The first two weeks in December, engineering will be making Foxville - a town made out of boxes (see example below). Since it will be the holiday season, students can decorate their house accordingly.  We would love to have a house from every Franklin family.  Please feel to make one at home for your student to bring to school.  Our village will be on display upstairs for all to see and enjoy.

For this activity we will need:

- thin boxes such as cereal boxes
- lots of tape
- tempera paint (lots of it)
- brushes 


Because of the space limitations we have at the school, if you could keep your contributions at home until close to the project dates, that would be greatly appreciated
Thanks again,

Miss Anita
