Makerspaces at the CHS Library
After reading through student survey responses recently, Ms. Geltch and Mr. Calderon tested to see how this would work by developing library activities based on a Halloween theme. On Halloween, students created spooky candy crafts from the T.V show "Chopped" inspired ingredients: toothpick, gummy worms, chocolate candy corn, marshmallows, and Nerd candies. We including a coloring table with sugar skull handouts. Many students participated in these activities.
Through more trial & error and increased student involvement, the CHS library will become an even more prominent learning hub.
Copyright Images and Music
Favorite Copyright Image Sites
When I delved into many copyright free music sites, I found most had rather obscure musical compositions- except for one-Soundcloud. Soundcloud included more well known selections and current material. However, it's imperative to be extremely careful when using this site to avoid copyright infringement. I assisted you with this detailed Google Slide presentation Soundcloud: Cool Copyright Free Music Download Tutorial
