Well, not sure about that but the kids in Science learned about the many different ways people use plants. One of those ways is my favorite: PAPER. Kathy H. was brave enough to lead this group in actually making recycled paper! Thank goodness she had an extra pair of hands to help with all the mixing and pouring. Laura K. also guided the little ones in this very exciting class. Even the babies were captivated by the mixer whirring.
This activity is certainly one to do with a crowd. If you go to the trouble of tearing the paper and mixing the slurry, you might as well make as much as you can. Thanks Kathy and Laura for all the prep work, the memorable lesson and the speedy clean up!
(If I had to choose between all the activities the kids have done for "the one with the most potential to make a HUGE mess", making paper might tie with last semester's "panty hose digestive system". Fortunately both Kathy and Katie were well prepared to maximize the learning and minimize the mess.)
