Just me :
Hi! Kindergarten teacher here - do I tell them to take it home? No. Does every single kid want to take them home? Yes.

YUP! That’s exactly what my kids do. They love bringing their paper shapes home.

The preschool teacher over here is thinking, "Wow! Now let's make a collage and use a glue stick to stick those cool shapes on a paper!"

My child is a little goblin. Every school year we have a gallon sized ziplock bag that we put all of the “interesting” stuff that makes it home in the book bag throughout the year 🤣🤣 we pull out ALL KINDS of random stuff that has been created or picked up off the ground. Then we look at it at the end of the year and have a wholesome family laugh at all the stuff.

I bet, at one point, the teacher got a nasty email from a parent that they didn't get the hole punches. Teachers can't win.

The kids pick up random stuff and stash it in their pockets, shoes, and backpacks. We choose our battles, let them take their scrap paper home as opposed to them having an unnecessary meltdown.

to be completely honest I do not like getting their work due to my own shit if feeling like I have a hard time getting rid of stuff my child makes. But thats my own thing to deal with

Do you know many times I’ve stapled a bunch of cut scraps together ?! When children are mastering a new skill they love to take home the fruits of their labor!

When we made paper snowflakes in school, I would bring home the cut out parts as well as the finished snowflakes. My mom used cornstarch and water to glue all of them to my bedroom window and the windows in our living room. She knew they were important to me even if it looked like trash to her.

Yep, 100% the kid put it in there. I have 24 students. They put their own stuff away in their folders and book sacks. I don’t have time to do that.

Student probably wanted mom to have those cuz thought they were cool. Would have cried throwing away. That mom needs less negativity and more talking to her kids!!

Kids love stuff like that & want to share with mama. I teach 2nd & they struggle to throw away the backs of stickers. Something about papers in shapes appeals to them.

My daughter is in pre k and we get her folder every week. It’s a nice way to talk to her about what she’s learning and what she’s needs practice with. We have a lot of shape tracing and letter tracing books as she works on holding a pencil.

Get a glue stick and let them glue it onto the paper they punched them out of then color the page. More fine motor work.
