Innovations Lab by Gavin

Innovation labs The innovations lab could allow you to do many things like read the right drawer and other cool things. It also helps you express your creativity and express your feelings through drawing or any other crash like papier-mâché and other grass like you could create anything you want with a paper. Also the animations lab allows you to enjoy your time while you’re in the learning Commons. It is located in the back of the learning Commons with a sign that says innovations land and all you have to do is ask Kimsey if you can go in there for a little bit and have fun and create stuff and let your mind run free. This space is like a makerspace and allows you to let your mind roam free and let all the creativity and you also can have a chance to hang out with friends or other classmates.

LC promotion I would like to promote the Innovations Lab. The innovations lab is a space in the learning commons with books and crafting supplies. Teachers, you can use this space to get craft supplies for an activity in your classroom. Your students can go in there to make a craft or concentrate on something. Students, my fellow students, you can go in there to concentrate on something like a project. It is a calm and peaceful place and I recommend you go in there to take a look. I personally like the room a lot because I am one of those people who can’t really work with a lot of people talking so I sometimes go in there to concentrate. When I go in there it makes me feel truly peaceful. If you wanna be peaceful you should go there. It is by Thing 1 And Thing 2, on the left.

Recently, you may have noticed that there are three stationary bikes in the Learning Commons. These bikes are part of a program called ‘The Read and Ride Program’. The title sounds pretty self explanatory, however, for anyone who may be confused, it’s basically where you can read while you ride on the bikes. Teachers, as well as students, can use this resource. Teachers can come in while their students are in electives or, they could even use them while their students do an assignment in the LC or find books to read. I have personally seen several teachers using the bikes and enjoying a book. A great way for students to use the bikes is, after they check out, they can use them while others are still looking for something to read. Another time that students can use the bikes is during free reading time if your class has come into the LC. An amazing thing about the bikes is that they allow students to be active while still reading. This can be especially helpful if students have extra energy that day or if they’re particularly fidgety. Overall, the bikes in ‘The Read and Ride Program’ are a great resource for students and staff alike.

Techsperts are helpers to Mrs.Kimsey and to others around the school. We help out in the Learning Commons most of the time and we can help teachers do things We help out teachers by doing things like cutting out papers or making a video for the class on how to make a foldable. We also help by delivering IPads to students that have problems with their IPads, so the teachers don’t have to mess with it. We also help out the students by helping them find books they need for projects or helping them with any IPad problems that they have. We also help by putting books away so they can find them way easier than it being scavenged around.

Which can be beneficial to the student that doesn't like to work in messy spaces. Classes go in the media room all the time to learn and or do projects. There’s a decently sized white board that all the teachers use. I have seen teachers pull groups at one of the many tables. Sometimes they just go into the media room to read or catch up on work. It really just depends on what the teachers want you to do for that day. This makes a great resource for all. In conclusion, the media room is a very useful and well loved space.

Our Reading Programs Libby and Sora are really great apps to use. The reason we love these programs so much is because they are so compact and easy to use! They can be used for reading so you don't have to lug around this big book for what to read. It is much easier to just download one simple app and now you have hundreds of books all in your device! And if finding it is too complicated for you, there’s an entire search bar! The good thing about Libby is that it connects to the closest library near your location and sora connects to your school library! All of our teachers down here in Excelsior Springs have found it much easier to finally find a book for their kids to read because honestly myself, I was never into reading but once I started to use Sora and Libby it got me to read so much more than I ever thought I would! And all of this is right inside of your phone, IPad, almost any device you can think of, its on there! Now I will admit there are times where it is difficult to find things but if it isn’t on sora, just look for it on Libby!
