Reusable Teaching
What are some practical ways to reuse the following items in an elementary classroom?
This summer I've been coming up with ways in which to help my students reduce and recycle during the upcoming school year. I've found that there are a few items that I use in my own home that can't be recycled, so I'd like to find ways to reuse them. I teach 4th grade. If there are other items you've found can be easily reused, I'd love to hear of those too. Any and all ideas are welcome.
Baby wipes containers- the reusable kinds. I've saved 4 or 5 of them because there's usually one in the economy packs of wipes.
Egg cartons- besides the obvious craft ideas
Yogurt containers- unfortunately they can't be recycled (wrong kind of plastic), so I'd like to find ways to reuse them. I thought they might make good pencil holders or something, but they'd be too top heavy.
The wipe containers are good to hold pencils instead of pencil cases. What about valentine's mailboxes? Use the yogurt containers to plant flowers for mother's day.
