Brain bins are what I call morning tubs in my first-grade classroom. They include open-ended materials that my students use to explore, create and build. To put it simply, brain bin time is an easy, low-management time in our weekly routine that sets a happy tone for our day. It helps my students wake up, warm-up, and shouts, “Good morning! Get ready to THINK today!” I have already tried it out in my classroom with my limited resources and my students love it! It really puts a smile on their face and gives us an opportunity to have conversations of what does it look like to share, try to solve problems within a group in an appropriate manner, how to treat a friend and to be aware of each other's feelings. I know that without time for unstructured inquiry, imaginative play, and an opportunity for students to develop social competency, we are doing our children a long-term disservice. I know that regardless of the high pressures of state-testing and the ever-increasing demands of educators, my students are more than a score.
