My Project

In our school we have implemented a soft start for the beginning of the day. When we start our day with a soft start of playing and using stem bins before our day starts. Our kids love the easier start to the day. We are asking for some magnetic blocks to build, search and finds, and Stem building block.

Our morning soft starts are so important to have more play in school and give our students an easier start to our day.

These materials will provide the opportunity to have many options for this soft start. The students love having so many options for a fun start to our morning.
