 Today at work, I had some old folders in the Makers Lab that I intended to discard. However, when the students saw the folders and learned of my plan, they were ALARMED! They said, "Don’t throw those away, we can make something out of them and we should REUSE them instead of throwing them away." So I postponed my lesson and went around the table to ask each student their idea for the old folders. They suggested decorating the folders like Christmas cards for parents, decorating them as their own Makers Lab folders and one girl said “ I just need a new folder for school." All of the ideas were good and most of them were doable, but more than that, the students have learned or are learning the fundamentals of a Maker or Tinkerer: REUSE, RECYCLE & REDUCE. Working with these children, I learn something new every day!
