PICTURES AND REPORTS

MAKER SPACE
Ms. Bertucci spent time consulting with and making choices with Mrs. Lawyer's Navigators as they planned out a stamp for their Economics Unit project. These pictures show them working in the library area just outside the Maker Space.





DISCOVERY
The Crochet Away Company has been working on making improvements to their packaging line in order to be prepared for our school-wide mall. The Packaging Department ( Discovery students) are using recycled book order papers to practice making our bags. We are also using paper from recycling bins to minimize the companies effect on the environment instead of using perfectly good paper. We are using the engineering process to perfect our craft and are taking suggestions from our Quality Assurance Department.

Students in Ms. Levine's Classroom made paper from a variety of ingredients on Thursday morning 11-16-2017. It was an exciting although messy process. Everyone was engaged and having a good time. This work was part of their Economics Unit project.
