My students love to play and use manipulatives in the classroom. But unfortunately, I do not have the tools they need to express their creativity. I want to start creating STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) Morning Tubs for my students. Each morning, as students come in, they will be able to choose a tub filled with LEGOS, Geosticks, Tinker Toys, or other fun materials to use as we get ready to begin the day. I will rotate the tubs each day so students will have an opportunity to use all of the available tools. With these STEM Morning Tubs, students will participate in cooperative work with their table group members. They will also have opportunity to talk, increase their language skills, share their creativity and continue to build relationships with each other. This will definitely help create a positive learning environment for all my students.
With the STEM Morning Tubs, my students will be more excited to come to school, on time, every day!
I want to encourage play time so that their imaginations, creativity, and energy does not go to waste. Morning Tubs will set the mood for the rest of the day, my students will be ready to learn! I plan on storing the materials in clear plastic bins so that we can keep our materials organized. In addition, not only will these be used as morning work, students can use them for indoor recess! I am eager to start creating STEM Morning Tubs for my students!
