Witte's Update:
We are in the process of making some changes to our hours of operation and to the structure of our program. In regards to the change in hours we are noticing that our students needs have changed in terms of when they can come to school. There was a tradition of our older students coming early afternoon and into the evening. What we have found is that our demographics have changed and we are now trying to accommodate those changes with a shift in hours. So far so good!
One of the structures to our day that we are trying to incorporate is the use of a Maker Space spot in our school. A makerspace is a place where students can gather to create, invent, tinker, explore and discover using a variety of tools and materials. We are in the early stages, but are extremely excited with the potential we see motivating students to be engaged in their learning. We are always looking for new ideas. Of course resources are always tough to come by but we are starting to gather different pieces to get us started.
I am super excited about where we can go with our Maker Space and watching students get engaged about their learning.
Next month I hope to able to tell about huge successes in the "Maker room".
Please call if you have any questions regarding PASS/ Woodwinds or have any comments.
