Morning Tubs To Start Our Day Off Right!

Help me give my students activities for morning tubs to help start off our mornings right!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shigenaga's classroom raised $944

This project is fully funded

My Project

Morning tubs will help set students up for success first thing in the morning. These morning tubs/STEAM tubs will offer a play-based opportunity for students to explore, create, and communicate. It is also a great way for all students to come into the classroom in the morning and allow them to work at their own pace.

Morning tubs will help get students excited for the day, encourage collaboration with others, and foster creativity & STEAM skills.

All the materials are so open-ended that students can be as creative as possible, yet they are also educational where they can be used in collaboration with the school curriculum.
