As I stumble across things in my desk I throw them away, take them home, or give them to the children.
Children appreciate the treasures I share with them. If the children take them home, I'm pretty sure their parents do not. This is why I do not allow digging through the trash.
Today I found small legal size notepads, enough to give one to each student.
As I passed them out, I used the word tablet. One child replied, "These aren't tablets, there are no buttons to push."
I told the puzzled children, "These are the original tablets."
The same child said, "I know."
They didn't seem disappointed that I only gave them pads of paper, but went to work drawing, writing, creating. I even got a couple of sweet pictures.
I had something to smile about all day.
