Recycling focus for education # Bottle caps

I am pro reusing daily articles for my lessons, so today when I was busy planning my lessons for my pre-k classes next week, I as usual, tried to find articles that I could find in my house or in any household throughout our school community.

Today's lucky article was bottle caps.

I chose three main activities that I will be using through out the week that includes bottle caps:

Activity 1: Constructing with paddlepops and bottle caps
