My 2nd grade class is made up of 30 eager learners from a low-income neighborhood. I would love to give them morning STEM bins. Morning STEM bins are a variety of activities that students can use when they arrive at school in the morning to wake up their brain, and give them the opportunity to build relationships with other classmates and me, the teacher. Students can spend their morning building with legos, straws, brain flakes, popsicle sticks, play dough, pipe cleaners and so much more to help their creative minds grow!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
