  • Upping Our Cardboard Construction Game With Makedo Part 03!

    Funded Sep 5, 2023

    Thank you to all of the wonderful DonorsChoose community supporters and generous donors who funded this project.

    A special thank you to State Farm for providing donation matches for this project.

    I am so excited to see this project funded because we needed additional Makedo! components for our Makerspace. Your thoughtful donations ensure my scholars have access to these much-needed Makedo! supplies which will greatly help with our larger class sizes this year.

    I have teachers that currently working together to create plans for a living history unit and will have their students use the Makedo! supplies to help create their cardboard construction component of the presentation. Thank you for giving us the resources to make these ideas come to life!

    Thank you for your generous donations and for supporting my project!”
