Although this is only her first year as library media coordinator at South Davidson, Mary Howell is a Wildcat through and through. As a graduate and veteran teacher of South, Mrs. Howell's passion for the school and community really shines through. Lots of changes have been made since Mrs. Howell's move to the school library. One change is the new Makerspace where students can tinker and create. Just recently, 7th grade teacher, Kayla Craft, utilized the Makerspace as an extension of a poetry lesson. Mrs. Craft shares a little about her project: "This was a brain child of Mrs. Morris and me. The students were really getting into poetry and I wanted to do a spoken word poem. Mrs. Morris helped me find Prince Ea and I found "Can We Autocorrect Humanity?" The kids loved it and I wanted them to create a response to the poem. I gave them the following instructions, "Create an appropriate response to the poem." The kids were confused at first, but they knew I had high expectations. The result is what you see!"
