Middle School Family Literacy Initiative: Creativity Collection

Creativity requires imagination and originality for generating new ideas. It benefits all disciplines and is necessary in science and civics and mathematics, even though it’s most often associated with the arts. Wherever we apply it, creativity makes use of each individual’s uniqueness and makes the world a richer place. This activity packet includes resources for educators, families, and students, and the books listed here all relate to the theme of creativity.
