Funded Aug 13, 2019Thank you so much for supporting our Building Sets project. Students can hardly contain their excitement! When students walk into the art room and see the building sets on tables, there are many squeals, claps, gasps, and excited faces. As they work, I love to see the collaboration and determination. These sets tend to bring out the best in students. Students are so motivated by their ideas that they push through challenges and set backs with ease. What I love to see most is how different types of creativity come through in their work. Some students make things to wear, some enjoy structural challenges, some make pieces for performances, some make games and encourage audience participation, some work strategically while others work more organically and spontaneously. These building sets allow students to explore their own creative motives and tendencies in a way that group projects cannot.
Thank you for helping me create this exciting learning environment and stimulating my students' creativity!”
With gratitude,
Teacher Shinn
