Since I started teaching at our school, first grade students began their day with "morning work," which was not exciting, and it set the wrong tone for the day. Students took their time coming to class after breakfast and were slow to get started. Toward the end of last year, I began using STEM tubs in place of morning work. Immediately, I noticed a change in the dynamics of the classroom! My students entered the room with excitement and enthusiasm! They wanted to know what tubs would be out that morning and what challenges would be waiting for them. You could feel the energy in the room! This year, I would like to harness some of that positive energy and challenge my students to think and explore the world around them! By bringing LEGO Early Simple Machine Sets into our classroom, my students will be able to work cooperatively and become critical thinkers! Through this, my hopes are that I will be able to provide a stronger foundation for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in my students! Not to mention a greater passion for learning!
