STEM Bins encorage children to think creatively, work cooperatively, develop social skills, and use problem solving skills. I would like to replace morning worksheets with manipulatives and materials for STEM bins. Currently, students come in the classroom and silently completely a worksheet. There is little to no interaction with classmates. Some students finish the worksheet early and others not at all. Often I do not have time to review the sheet to check for understanding. STEM Bins will be much more beneficial and meaningful for students. The Planks, K’nex, Lincoln Logs, and Tinker Toys will allow my students to be more engaged, creative and interactive. I am so excited for my students to receive these materials so they can be creative and become excited about learning each morning. What a great way to start each day!
