The colorful cups that I am requesting for my kindergarten class will teach my students some organizational skills needed to perform STEM activities. They will be able to grab their own items for classroom experiments and teach them independence at such a young age. It will make my students become responsible in cleaning up and placing their STEM supplies/materials in their appropriate colored cup. This will prevent us from losing instructional minutes since each minute is crucial to their eager willingness to learn and perform science experiments. Students will take ownership in handling their own STEM materials organized in the colorful cups. They will increase social skills, improve collaboration, and problem solving skills when working together with their classmates. All the interaction will increase confidence within each individual student who has learned to be independent and responsible of their own colorful cups with STEM supplies.
