Conduits to Creativity
Since schools are going back to the drawing board to figure out the 2020/2021 school year, we are inspired to go way back to some amazing hands-on learning fun from 1971!
Check out this “Off the top of your head” prompt card that invites students to make hats from recycled materials as a way to learn about shapes and contribute to their spatial reasoning.

Happy 50th Earth Day and Earth Week!
While kids are safer-at-home and learning virtually it’s a great time to wonder and explore where the materials we use in our daily lives come from. Use Google to help you discover origins for the things you have at home. Everything comes from the earth somehow, someway.

Little ones can explore colors and shapes, older grades can use pieces for math, geometry and even coding concepts.
All you need is paper pieces in different colors and shapes, paper or cardboard triangles and a glue stick! If you’re writing out problems to solve then add a pencil or pen.
