Help Us Have a Good Morning!

Help me give my students a hands on alternative to morning work through morning tubs. Students will be given an opportunity to use creative thinking and sharing while using their minds to think outside of the box.

My Students

My students come to school excited and ready to learn everyday! They are the heartbeat of my classroom. My goal is to create an atmosphere they are proud of and enjoy. They are energetic and curious. There is a strong sense of community within the class.

By allowing my students the freedom of choice, they are able to take ownership of their learning.

I teach 22-26 high energy seven year olds. I work hard to encourage relationships, following directions, and develop independence. My students show up each morning eagerly anticipating our day together.

My Project

Kids learn through play. Science, Math, Technology, and play allows students to use their creative minds to think outside of the box. The next generation is preparing to develop skills for the digital age. By allowing students to create STEM projects through morning tubs not only begins to prepare them for success, but gets them excited about school.

Engaged students are often happy students.

Morning tubs offer students a chance to strengthen fine motor skills and put working together to work! By allowing students to work with their hands many may begin to realize their purpose in life.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
