Every school should have this wall. I wish every child felt the confidence and strength to do their best!
I want this in my classroom!!Know someone who would love a desk like this over the festive period?
Have you tried this??‼️SNACK HACK ALERT‼️
This was one of my very favorite snack hacks back when I was teaching and I still use it whenever I am giving a snack to a group of kids (at church or parties). Use a COFFEE FILTER instead of a paper plate or paper towel. Here’s why:
✅Coffee filters are cheap! You can buy a pack of 200 for about a dollar and some change!
✅ Coffee filters are better for the environment than paper plates or paper towels (especially if you use the unbleached ones which are slightly more expensive). It takes only around 6-8 months for a coffee filter to decompose. You can even throw them in your compost bin as long as they aren’t coated in plastic.
✅ Coffee filters retain their bowl-like shape and keep the contents of the snack from spilling on the table!
Of course, using reusable plates is always preferred but if you are feeding a group of kids and need something in a pinch, grab a coffee filter and add any dry snack (popcorn, crackers, etc). .
