Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 46

We LOVE these bins! Because of the purchase of these bins, students have been able to utilize a wide variety of STEM activities in the mornings and after finishing their work. These bins are fantastic because they are the perfect size, and the lids lock on tight so even if they are dropped, the materials do not spill out. Thank you again for purchasing these so that our class can enjoy the learning process a little more!

Original Grant Overview

Goal

To create morning bins for 5th graders to explore and create, allowing for a calm and mindful start to our day.

What will be done with my students

Each bin will be filled with a variety of exploratory STEM activities, such as K'Nex, Legos, SnapCircuits, etc. These bins will be used in the mornings prior to school starting, as well as when students have finished their work early.

Benefits to my students

These bins will provide a chance for students to use their creative STEM skills in a productive way. Students will be able to choose whichever bin they prefer and then put their science, math, and engineering skills to the test by completing different activities and challenges. This is a great opportunity for students to use their hands and learn through exploration.

Having these bins readily available for students to utilize in the morning (or when finished with their work), gives students the autonomy to learn and challenge their brain, all while having fun.
