A NOTE FROM MRS. POWERS
Dear Parents,
In our ongoing pursuit of excellence in education, Eden continually works to provide our students skills they need to meet the ever-changing challenges they will face. Last year, we researched and began to train teachers on the use of the MakerSpace approach. For elementary classes, MakerSpace has three components -
creativity, collaboration, and problem solving
- skills that are highly valuable to students both now and in the future. Learning and practicing these important skills helps equip them to move forward in an ever-changing, fast-paced, technology-driven world where they will need more than the ability to find and communicate information.
We began introducing MakerSpace by revamping old projects that were previously completed at home, redesigning them to the MakerSpace process, and, this year, expanded with new projects. These projects allow them to learn and practice collaborating, thinking outside the box, using creative ideas, and tackling unexpected problems. Projects are developed in collaboration with the classroom, special area, and art teachers covering concepts in all academic areas. These projects are designed to challenge students’ traditional ideas.
For our preschool through first grade classes, we designed the Imagination Station where students are introduced to MakerSpace concepts as they learn to work in groups and solve problems with thematic play and activities.
We are very excited about this addition to our educational program and look forward to seeing it develop further as resources become available.
Yours in Christ,
Carrie A. Powers
Wexford Campus Principal
