These materials will become morning tubs in our kindergarten classroom. Each morning, students will begin their day with about 20 minutes of morning tub time. This means that together with their table team, they can interact and "play" with the materials inside of the tub. These materials will regularly be rotated to allow for diverse exposure and experience. Some of the items that will fill our morning tubs include: Tinker Toys and magnetic building tiles (to develop engineering and fine motor skills), dominoes (to practice math skills and creative construction), and play-doh (to practice letter formation and creative play.) Working as a team, my kindergarteners will interact with the materials in their morning tub while building social and academic skills all at the same time. Instead of a paper-pencil worksheet each morning, students will be able to begin each school day by exploring these materials as well as interacting with their peers. There is a great amount of research that supports play-based learning for our primary students. Playing is not only fun, but it is an important part of a child's development and learning. Our morning tubs will allow students to freely interact and play with these materials as well as their peers, opening up immense possibilities for their creativity, exploration, and social growth.
