Lone Sock USES

Posted on February 3, 2011 by Jeffrey Scott Thomas

We keep a few. When we go out, I put frozen water bottles in the socks (one bottle per sock). That way as they thaw out in our backpack and condensation forms, the sock absorbs it and everything in our backpack doesn’t get wet.
I always save them, thinking that I will have a light bulb moment for use by the preschoolers. I realized that my students can use them to erase the chalkboards — sock on one hand and chalk in the other!

Onion Storage

Keep a spray bottle filled with water and add a bit of dish washing liquid next to your sink. Spritz dishes to loosen food and to use less dish soap and water. Works great on counters, too. The first tip has another suggestion for washing glasses.
