These materials will fit right into our daily learning. Students will engage in STEM activities regularly after completing their work, when they need a break, at center time, and as morning work. The math manipulatives and boards will help increase engagement and retention of the skills my students need to thrive in Kindergarten and beyond. With these new materials, my students will be able to enhance their engagement, creativity, and imagination, all while growing their brains! These materials will also activate students' right to choose. The STEM bins will not only give students ownership of their creativity and work, but will allow them to choose different materials they want to use to activate that curiosity on a daily basis. This project will enrich our learning environment.
