For Earth Day I did a very simple project. I gave the students stick on eyes and asked them to make a little character using only the recycled containers in the class.
I wanted the students to play with toys that weren't toys. I believe that kids need more chances to be kids and at home they may not realize all of the potential "toys" they have at their finger tips.
This was a really nice lesson for me because up to this point I hadn't had a day in the class where I wasn't playing whack mole with the behaviour issues and for this lesson most students gave me something and nothing major came up behaviour wise. It felt like I had made some progress and we had come together as a group for once.
