Hundreds of teaching aids are made from cheap and recycled materials every year by teachers. The teaching aids for math, language and environmental education classes are designed to make lessons funnier and more interesting, enabling children to easily internalize concepts taught.
Teachers from Ly Tu Trong Nursery School have created alphabet and number teaching sets out of materials available such as bottle caps, cake boxes, compact discs, plastic straws and clothes clamps and brought the products to the 2015 - 2016 Self- made Teaching Aid Contest for nursery schools held by Nha Trang City Division of Education & Training. Nearly 10 calculation and alphabet sets and puzzle games at a cost of only VND99,000 were displayed at the event.
Teaching tools made by the Teachers from Sao Bien Nursery School for environmental education classes include plastic brooms and wheelbarrows are created out of used bottles and plastic straws; buckets, etc. With the teaching tools, kids are taught by both theory and practice to keep the environment clean. The products are helpful to environmental protection education and life skill improvement.
