I am lucky to teach 20 wonderful kindergarten students in a small, rural community in Florida. My school is a Title I school, with 100% of students receiving free breakfast and lunch. Despite the challenges that my students face outside of the classroom, they are hard working and eager to learn each and every day. From the minute they walk in my door, I focus on their potential and growth while they are with me. I love teaching kindergarten and I want my students to love learning!
My Project
Morning brain bins will be integrated into the classroom to promote problem-solving, boost creativity, and engage students in open-ended creativity. Students will use hands-on materials such as Lakeshore’s magnetic building tiles, stretch and connect builders, gear builders, and waffle blocks to explore, create, build, and- dare I say it, play with during the first 20 minutes of our day.
Morning brain bin time is an easy, low-management time in our weekly routine that sets a happy tone for our day.
With your help, my students will start their day with these hands-on activities that will help stimulate and activate their brains for learning for the rest of the day.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
