Case in point:
This paper bag needed to be shredded for the compost...skills exercised: fine motor, finger muscles
nature/science lesson: paper can decompose just like kitchen scraps since it also comes from a plant
math lesson: a whole can be divided into smaller parts
good citizenship lesson: reduce waste for a greener world.
My work here is done.
Ha! This cracks me up. I do the same thing when I teach my high school classes. "Ok, art class! We are painting pictures of world maps today. You will learn about geography through art!" ...Then I hang them up on the wall and use them to teach Spanish class. Wahaha!
ReplyDeleteHahahahhaa! You are soooo clever! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea. I think I'll get right on that one. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI need to start thinking more like you!These days (w/new baby) I need all the time and energy I can get. Keeping the kids busy while they do chores w/out knowing it is a fantastic idea!!!!
ReplyDeletewe love chores around here...we haven't started composting though. My neighbor has a massive been and it's something about the "worms" in hers that totally makes me a little turned off by the idea.
