My Project

Children are so curious these days and I want to spark their imaginations by creating STEM or Brain bins using the hands-on materials and TPT gift cards. These bins will be used for morning work, early finishers, literacy stations, math stations, etc.

All my students need a spark to get them excited about school and STEM bins are my new way of doing this in my classroom!

These STEM bins that include magnetic building blocks, LEGOs and Marbleworks will allow each and every student a different choice activity in the morning when they come into my room every day. Kids struggle with being excited to come to school and I think they will love school after I introduce them to these new STEM bins.
