Ruth's Reusable Resources has provided me with a multitude of materials for use in my classroom....pencils, pens, erasers, paper, a variety of supplies for art project/creative expression, filing cabinets, filing trays, desk trays, games, books, posters, tables, chairs...my primary classroom is a Ruth's Room. I have many materials from Ruth's and use Ruth's as a teaching tool. Through my association with Ruth's, my classes are learning about reducing, reusing, and recycling. The children have the opportunity to give back to Ruth's by doing projects for Ruth. The children know that when they are in the upper grades they will have the opportunity to give back to others by volunteering at Ruth's.
