Earth Day Tidbit!

Earth Day Tidbit- Reuse!  Reuse!

Earth Day is this week and I’m all about how to recycle “copied” paper which can be reused!

Free Play Masterpieces

During Free Play in the classroom I always have an art center which can be painting with Tempera paints, water colors, dot markers, etc.  I love this center, but I don’t put out clean sheets of paper for the kiddos to practice making their masterpieces.  Some kids will paint up to 5 or 6 sheets of paper during the free play time.  I  go the copy room and take the paper sitting in a tray for weeks that is unclaimed copies.

 I use the clean back sides for the painting. 

This is a perfect way to use unclaimed copies for the masterpieces the kiddos paint in my class make during free play.

 Once again, reuse rather than recycle!
