On our staff development day we spent time reflecting on our practices, and our philosophy. Below are some of the questions that were given to the maestros to answer. The maestros brainstormed possible responses and were given opportunities to refine and reflect upon their answers. There were twenty questions in total. Here is the fourth set of questions:
Why do we use cloth towels instead of paper towels? ¿Por qué usamos toallas de tela en vez de papel?
Why do we re-heat in ceramic, not plastic? ¿Por qué calentamos la comida en platos de cerámica y no plásticos?
Why do we use cloth towels instead of paper towels? ¿Por qué usamos toallas de tela en vez de papel?
- It is eco-friendly. Reduce, reuse and recycle.
- To reduce the amount of disposable and waste.
- To reduce the amount of garbage we create at pasitos and to teach the children that we prefer reuse towels and to save trees.
- To reduce waste that would accumulate if we used paper towels.
- Porque Pasitos es una escuela “eco-friendly” para minimizar la basura y cuidar la tierra “World.”
- Reducir cantidad de basura que tiramos cada día.
- Enseñar la importancia de rehusar y minimizar desperdicio como comunidad.
- Para continuar poniendo en práctica nuestra filosofía “eco-friendly” y reducir basura.
Why do we re-heat in ceramic, not plastic? ¿Por qué calentamos la comida en platos de cerámica y no plásticos?
- Because it is safe to put ceramics in the microwave, while plastics release toxins/carcinogens into the food if reheated in microwave.
- Because plastic in the microwave puts out chemicals into the food.
- Chemical free, safe.
- To encourage reusing and reduce the use of plastic due to harmful chemicals.
