Want to mesmerize kids? Turn on the #3Dprinter ! I printed building models Mark Twain ES. Students took action, asked if that would be something to do with the 3D printers. Me: Good idea! Now can I keep up with the demand 🤨🤔? IB PYP coming to life! @HISDLibraryServ Brett Gallini, Ed.D.

Making self portraits Mark Twain ES with 5th grade has been so much fun. I show them examples of Hanoch Piven ‘s art to inspire them. 5th grade is in full exhibition preparation mode. Can’t wait to see the cumulation of their work. #elementarylibrary #makerspace #thecreaticelibrarian

The little library helpers for the half day had a busy morning Mark Twain ES checking in book returns, facilitating a Makerspace session, teaching a 3rd class and more (they wanted to sweep)! Thinking about our dear Houston, we had a wild storm yesterday. Many still without power. ❤️
