The curiosity on my kiddos faces when the school secretary delivered a giant brown box was through the roof. \"What's in there? Please open the box? We need to see what it is.\" It was a game of 1 million questions. We have you to thank for that.\r\nCurrently we are using the counting boxes as a early finishers option. When a student gets done with an activity, I have them walk over and grab a box and start counting. Right now with how new and fresh the boxes are, students are loving seeing what manipulative they will get to use to count with. The airplanes are a favorite right now. This is an easy way to work on meeting standards and a quick check as the teacher. The manipulatives make it more engaging and fun for 5 and 6 year old's.
