My Project

I am asking for help to purchase a teachers pay teacher giftcard for my first grade classroom. My goal is to purchase a STEM Bin collection. With this collection I will be able to place manipulatives into containers with challenge cards. Students would use these cards and manipulatives to build structures and solve problems.

Giving students the opportunity to be creative by using manipulatives to build structures in a first grade classroom is fundamental to their problem solving skills.

These bins would be used daily. They would be able to be used as morning work, and early finisher work.
