My Project

As a teacher. I cherish the morning time so much. When my students arrive at school, I like to take it slow and easy to best set us up for a great day.

I believe to have a great day students need a slower start in the mornings.

Please help me with purchasing morning bin materials for my classroom. In this project, I have different puzzles, magnetics, LEGO bricks, etc. Each morning I want to allow 10-15 minutes for them to just be kids and take it easy when they first arrive. I believe this will best set us up for a great educational day!
