The Story That Made My Day
My colleague John Craig (a first grade teacher) stopped to give me a box of plastic lids. He went on to tell me how he lives in the country and that the cost of garbage removal had gotten too expensive, so his family has begun recycling. His daughter Kayle (a first grader in Mrs. Jarrell's class) is a student of mine and was very excited about the idea of recycling, but the first trip to the center proved to be a big disappointment for her. She thought her family was going to recycle "like Mrs. Drake."
In her mind recycling was just another word for making art.
