STEM Bins: For Early Finishers and Brain Breaks

Help me give my students STEM bins for early finishers and fun hands-on activities.

My Project

I have a classroom full of students who love hands-on activities. A lot of my students finish work early and this will be a great challenge for them once they are done. We also have indoor recess a lot due to the weather, and this will give them an activity to do inside. My students love challenges and working together. These bins will be available for students to grab once work is complete. There will be fewer distractions because students can grab and go without asking me “What is next?” I know my students will be very happy with these!
