My wonderful students will have fun and be engaged with STEM bins to use in their learning. Stem bins offer hands on building opportunities getting away from paper and pencil stations. The sensory tools like weighted blankets, fidget tools and bands/cushions for alternative seating will help students increase their focus and success. Because of Covid my students lack the social emotional skills they need to be successful in first grade. The stem materials will help them learn to collaborate and work as a team. The alternative seating and sensory tools will give those who struggle to focus an opportunity to feel more successful at school. Our back pack hooks are bent and half of our backpacks rest on the floor. It will be wonderful to be able to hang all of our backpacks.
My students really need the extra support and excitement that these new materials will bring to our classroom environment.
More than a third of students from low‑income households
