My Project

Arrival in the classroom helps set the tone for the day. Help me set my students up for success by giving them morning bins that engage their brains and get them ready for the day.

Morning bins with building blocks, puzzles, and other hands-on activities give students a soft start to the day while still engaging them in rigorous STEM activities.

Morning bins give the students opportunities for choice and decision-making, all while they engage in math and science-related manipulatives. They also let students safely explore STEM concepts through play-like challenges that are aligned with STEM standards.

Help my students explore their imaginations and start their mornings off right with these STEM activities.
