Allowing students to experiment is to offer opportunities that guarantee their correct development in the present and in the years.
When the practice becomes tangible, learning is valued even more, which leads to want to experiment and get involved with what education offers, which is nothing but feeding the individual with the potential knowledge that will shape the person in all areas.
Direct experience in the stationery.
The activity in the stationery wants to show the students the love for the school supplies and its great utility for the studies.
Knowing the work that is done in the stationery helps to understand the functions for the realization of crafts at school and at home.

Working in the stationery also requires a teamwork that will teach students the importance of achieving the established objectives, since one well-performed task implies another that will give better results and synchronization between individuals is necessary.

- The learning of the good use of support materials, such as: notebook sheets, rules, pencil, pencil sharpener, among others.

Function of educator so that the direct experience in the stationery is carried out successfully and the acquisition of necessary knowledge is achieved, to be put in practice in daily tasks.
The educator as a guide and example to follow, must inform the students where they are going and what the direct experience is about, trying to involve them in a fun learning, where the students become autonomous people for the accomplishment of tasks.
In order for children to attend the stationery, it is necessary to request permission from the representatives, since it will take place outside the school and the educator must be responsible and take the necessary measures for meaningful learning.
Explain to the students that the behavior must be impeccable, remembering that it is a requirement to attend the stationery and carry out the activities.
Talk about the attention that must be paid at all times to the instructions received for the manipulation of stationery, which will even serve to develop extraordinary crafts in the classroom, thanks to the stimulation of creativity.
Learning and fun activities in the stationery.
A learning generates greater value when it can be experienced, for this reason through practice students are more involved in manual activities, which have to do with creation, execution, thus losing the fear of the unknown, as it becomes something that acquires value.
Working in a stationery requires commitment, and that commitment must be transmitted to children, so that it manifests itself in all its actions.
Activities:
The activity of manipulation and learning will have to do with the manufacture of notebooks, made by the children themselves.
Recognition and manipulation activity of the sheet of paper or other materials that are used for the preparation of notebooks.
The creation of a notebook will allow students to become independent a little, having the ability to lead, autonomy, stimulation of creation and purchasing power for many other achievements.
At the stationery store, the children will be taught how to make their own notebook, either with white sheets, with lines or any material that is clean and can be written on. In this step, you should only decide on the size to be made, if it is a small or large model, and if it fits in your backpack.
The children will have to take measures with a rule, specifying the measures to be taken, and the person in charge of the work group will be attentive at all times to the doubts of the students.
Each student will create their own notebook, and will be supported so that everything is a success.
Teaching the use of the guillotine for paper.
The person in charge of imparting the basic notions for the creation of the notebook will explain how to use the guillotine and the care with the fingers that it must have for its maneuver, since although it seems an easy job, it requires commitment and dedication, both to carry out the perfect paper cuts, as in the care of one's own person, since negligence can cause a disaster.
How to hold the guillotine to cut paper?
With the left hand we have to hold the base of the equipment, and with the right hand the cutting arm of the guillotine is lowered, this is done once it is verified that everything is in the right place, which must be done quickly to achieve the perfect cut.
The maneuver of the guillotine to cut the paper, executed by the students.
Once the correct process for cutting is explained, the students proceed to make the cuts on the sheets of paper, with the measures they have established.
This process will be carried out under supervision, since it is the first time this work is done.
Students must internalize the information very well so that the creation of their notebooks is as expected.
Learning is generated with greater emphasis when it is executed personally, therefore, when children exercise this function it will be beneficial.
Notebook cover design with digital art.
The design will be a challenge for students, they will do it digitally, where they will have to create their own cover using the design tools found on the computer.
It is a way to encourage in the area of technology and know much more about the tools offered by the programs.
The educator, in coordination with the person responsible for imparting the practice of creating laptops, must decide what program the children can work with, Microsoft PowerPoint is recommended and it is easy to use, where students will work freely and their access will be easy.
This practice reinforces the knowledge imparted in the school and helps the child to pay attention to all the eventualities presented.
Observation: The cover can be created with colored sheet materials, drawings made, cuts of figures that children choose and can paste and then laminate the cover.
Lamination of the cover in the notebook.
It is necessary to laminate the covers so that it does not deteriorate easily, then the child must take the plasticized paper, measure it according to the measurements that he has established for the notebook and then move to the guillotine or cut with scissors, when finishing the cuts, proceed to remove the plastic and place it carefully on the cover so that it is fixed or adhered.
Bound with springs.
The children, having everything together, will undertake the last step, which is to place the sheets and the cover of the notebook in the binding machine. Little by little, depending on the number of sheets chosen for the design of the notebook, the holes will be made, then the spiral will be placed, the machine will do all the work, just keep in mind that the holes in the sheets should be perfectly in line , thus avoiding defects in the binding.
Sample of the final work of the notebook.
Each student will show their finished design and explain the meaning of the elaboration and what makes them feel.
This practice will allow children to perform better in more complex jobs, which will know how to carry out through the development and the stimulus generated in this activity.
Learning requires commitment and practice, therefore, students must be involved in all possible activities that are considered as stimulants for the acquisition of knowledge.
With this activity, children can make notebooks with their own resources, recycling materials if they wish, and it would become something of a benefit that satisfies the educational side, through the creativity stimulated for such work.
