My Project

This year we started using morning play tubs in 1st grade. We decided to try these out as a way to foster creativity, communication, and collaboration into our morning. These allow for a "soft start" for students who need it! So far this year the tubs we have are wildly successful. Students laugh, play, and create to start their day.

We need new and novel morning tubs to continue to create and explore together.

These resources will give students a wide variety of choices each day. I will use the Teachers Pay Teachers gift card to purchase worksheets and activities that go with each morning tub as a way to enrich my students even more.
