My Project

Part of our daily routine in kindergarten, when students get to school, is morning bins. This promotes communication, engagement and creativity. This year I want to have STEM be the focus of our soft start in the mornings.

STEM morning bins are great activities for building, collaborating and playing together before school starts!

The clear bins will hold all the materials the kindergarteners will be using in the morning. They will take a STEM bin with items like crystal building blocks, a marble run, or flower building toys, and bring it to their spot and work with their friends around the STEM process while also easing into their day. Learning through play is extremely important and is necessary for success!
