School Days


The CFRC is doing a huge project which evolved because the children were really interested in recycling. It started with the typically plastic/glass/alluminum, but then got into recycling anything that is re-usable. The children are bringing in things from around the house that they are going to throw away. Alyssa's class collected these weird things that look like gigantic coffee filters. Not sure what they are supposed to be for, but they colored them with water and food coloring from droppers. They all created two of them for the classroom, and it was amazing how well one year olds can share when they are engaged. They didn't care that their peers were reasching over them, coloring in an area they just colored, or even taking bottles and droppers from each other.
