It's tricky to find ways to avoid all that extra paper, since often the children end up using notebook paper instead of the printed stuff when I bypass copied sheets for my lessons. Still, it would save energy for them to be the ones recording the information instead of the copier--and it would most likely improve their learning as well. This is a good reminder for all of us xerox-addicts! Thanks! We blog about living green with little ones at http://greenbabyguide.com.
