My Project

I am so excited to introduce STEM bins into my daily routine this upcoming year! Students will use these during morning arrival, when finished early with work, and during any other down time in the classroom.

STEM Bins help to promote problem solving and creativity in the classroom.

The materials provided in this project will ensure that students have a variety of activities for hands on creativity and problem solving during throughout the day. With the help of task cards such as “build a flower” students will be encouraged to think outside of the box and let creativity shine in a low stakes setting.
