Creation Station
December, 2018
Dear Center Families:
Along with creating this new space for our students, our Library Renovation Team has also worked hard to develop a student-centered plan for introducing our children to this new and exciting space. Over the past month, our 4th and 5th graders were introduced to the space through a video and introductory exploration experience. They have also provided our team with valuable feedback and ideas for enhancements. After winter break, classroom teachers and our library staff will lead kindergarten through 3rd grade students through this same introductory experience. By the end of the third quarter, all students will be on board, and our library special will transform into a blend of book exchange time and time to explore our Cyclone Creation Station.
I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all who helped to bring this vision to life within our school! This project has been an outstanding way to model the design process, promote community collaboration, and embrace creative thinking. We look forward to all of the possibilities!
With much gratitude and excitement,
Kate Rateno
Principal, Center Elementary School
