What's this all about?

Hi! My name is Meg and I am a K-5 school librarian. I work in two schools in South Portland, Maine. One school, Dyer Elementary, is in the process of building a maker space, and we are excited to get making. The other school, Kaler Elementary, does not have a maker space (yet!), but I am still hoping to get making with them. My ultimate plan for this year is to pull together a maker cart. In the meantime, though, I have already started working with kids to explore materials and to design and build their ideas. This blog will focus on some of the projects we are doing, and will show how I am using the fiction and nonfiction in my learning commons to inspire their creativity.
