U.A.E. Day 299: D.I.Y. & Recycle, Reduce, and Reuse

I taught a unit last week about D.I.Y. projects.  This week I taught a unit about recycling, reusing, and reducing.  To make a learning-by-doing challenge for my students, I combined these ideas by asking them to collect used water bottles from all over campus and repurpose them into cute pencil holders to give to each of the professors in my department.  

One student gets ready...

Magic Mini Books to give advice about reducing, reusing, and recycling.  

I love that she uses our example from our project in her book!  

We had fun.  :D
