My Project

Through the materials provided with this project, we will be able to provide first graders with stem bins! Stem bins encourage students to create, invent, and solve problems. These will be perfect for morning work because they will start the mornings with fun and collaboration! The use of LEGOS, magnet tiles, and play dough will provide students with the opportunity to to plan, collaborate, and interact with different manipulative as a table group. It will provide students with a chance to work together to solve problems and discuss different strategies to solving problems!
