Mrs. Huss’ class explored the MakerSpace in the Library this morning to use different materials and sets.
Did you know MakerSpaces are designed to help students learn to collaborate, think critically about complex problems, design creative solutions to challenges, and share knowledge? Through this process, kids learn to experiment, accept failures, make improvements, and develop the resiliency they need to try and try again. MakerSpaces help kids build communication, creativity, and collaboration skills.
Another great Watershed lesson with Mrs. Richardson! Mrs. Ray's class learned all about volume.
Isabel Xiong, a fifth grade student in Mrs. Cobb’s Homeroom is River Ridge Elementary’s TERRIFIC Kid of the Year.
