Help me give my students a positive, happy start to their day by providing engaging hands-on activities that promote creativity and community building.
Our classroom is filled with 22 curious, creative, and considerate third-graders. After almost a year of online learning, my students are thrilled to be back in the classroom and eager as ever to learn.
My students happily greet each other every morning.
They share their stories, activities, highs, and lows as they begin the day. Now, more than ever, my students need the opportunity to connect with their peers and focus on the social and emotional development that a classroom offers.
My Project
Morning Bins will help students build relationships with their peers by providing creative, open-ended, hands-on activities.
Morning Bins gives students time to create, imagine, and socialize.
These activities help build community and allows children to get their "wiggles" out as the day begins. In this way, we start the day on a positive and happy note. Students enter the classroom, brimming with excitement to get started working on their bin.
Using their Morning Bin, students will work together building, playing games, writing, and solving puzzles. The bins will rotate from table group to table group each day. At the end of the week, the bins will be replenished with a new set of activities for the following week. I have been reading and thinking about this program for a while and I'm so excited to begin. With your support, I can turn this idea into a reality!
