Every year we have a chance for teachers and students to do a week of "What they want." It is always incredible. Normally I have done board games, and I loved that but this year I wanted to branch out, and have students do some "making." So a colleague and (Mr. Malnis) and I did the fantastic Toys from Trash. It was great to show kids some cool things, and have them just make them. Very few directions, we just made some examples, and told kids, "Go!"
Seeing where kids go with that is always rewarding. They love adding their flourishes, and the 1.5 hours went almost instantaneously: such good stuff!
