“Revive” discarded milk cartons into toys for children
Young in both age and profession, teacher Thanh Tuyen impressed with her innovative teaching methods and creativity in making tools and toys for children; thereby integrating them into lessons to help children understand and remember for a long time.
With the motto "learning while playing, playing while learning", Ms. Tuyen's lessons always bring new and interesting things to the children.
With her ingenuity and creativity, Ms. Tuyen often uses scrap materials to create teaching aids and toys as well as decorations in the classroom.

Recently, the young teacher and her school won 3 first prizes for "Reviving milk cartons" in the contest "Classifying, collecting and recycling milk cartons" organized by the Provincial Youth Union in coordination with the Department of Education and Training of Binh Duong.
From discarded milk cartons, the teacher and her colleagues invented toy cars, made hats to wear, cut flowers to decorate photo frames, etc.
As for plastic milk cartons, she turns them into lanterns or pours cement into them after placing water pipes in the middle to create stands for traffic signs or targets for ring toss games, etc.
Ms. Tuyen turns used milk cartons into toys and utensils.
The young teacher also actively researches documents and seeks new teaching methods using STEM/STEAM to help children become more interested, thereby improving the quality of teaching.
Thanh Tuyen also contributed to her school winning 3 first prizes at the city-level STEM/STEAM product display contest (award for the most effective STEM product applied to students' learning; award for the most beautiful product display; award for students guided by teachers to introduce STEM products).

Ms. Tuyen said that for her, raising children is not just a simple job but also a mission to care for and love, bringing special attention to each child. However, at first, like many other teachers, she encountered many difficulties.
“At first, I simply thought that preschool teachers only taught children to sing, dance and add a little knowledge. However, when I actually started working, I understood my role as a multi-talented mother, caring, nurturing, sometimes like a doctor, sometimes like a cleaner…”, Ms. Tuyen said.
In addition, at first, some parents did not trust young teachers like her. “Sometimes when children come home from school, the information is not correct, causing parents to have wrong thoughts, views or distrust. At those times, I felt very sorry for myself. Thinking that my job was already hard, and having to endure unnecessary pressure from parents, many times I wanted to give up,” Ms. Tuyen shared.
However, with her love for children and the encouragement and help of her family and colleagues, Ms. Tuyen has overcome everything and loves her job more and more.
After being used, plastic milk cans are creatively turned into lanterns, classroom corner decorations, etc. by teachers.
As a preschool teacher, Ms. Tuyen also got used to having to talk a lot and clean up after the children.
“As for the children going to the toilet, at first they were not used to the routine. When asked if they had gone, they did not answer. My colleagues and I had to go to each child’s sleeping area and pull out each pair of pants to smell. At those times, I wondered who I was and what I was doing,” the teacher laughed.
Ms. Tuyen always believes that "children are like a mirror, the more we love children, the more love we will receive in return".
“I always tell myself to keep trying, to work with all my heart and passion, and my parents will definitely understand, share and have a better view of me,” Ms. Tuyen said.

She also actively supports, advises and guides schools to effectively implement the content of designing educational environments according to the perspective of "Building child-centered schools".
