STEM Tools for our First Grade Family

Help me give my students a great start to their school day by providing STEM manipulatives to fill Morning Tubs!

My Project

At my school, the students arrive within a twenty minute window each morning. While students eat breakfast and listen to Morning Announcements, I place a Morning Tub on each table. The Morning Tubs are filled with engaging manipulatives to help students transition quietly into the school day.

My Morning Tubs are in desperate need of a refresh!

The supplies I am requesting will fill my Morning Tubs with complete sets of puzzles, blocks, and building toys. Students will have plenty of options to create, build and problem solve independently while I welcome students to the classroom, take attendance, and get set for the day!
