Jan. Morning Tubs

I finished up creating our new Morning Tubs.  They have been asking for them and have really enjoyed designing and building.

This month the tubs include: Design a Shovel that can Hold the Most Snowballs, Design a Snowflake, Build an Igloo, and Build a Snowman.

December Morning Tubs

Kids have been using the Morning Tubs each Friday.  The activities for this month are: working as a team build the longest paper chain, decorate a gingerbread man, make a tree that can stand on its own, and design and make reindeer antlers.

Here are a few pics!

We also decorated our doors to spread the holiday cheer!

November Morning Tubs

I've introduced our new morning tubs and the kids are LOVING them.  I put them out each Friday for the kids to use in the morning and they've gone really well.  This is a great way to get students talking, designing, and building.

The tubs for this month are: Turkey Tower Building, Hide a Turkey, Design and Build the Mayflower, and Build a Log Cabin.

Here are some pics of them at work!

Meaningful Morning Tubs FUN

I found these morning tub labels here (Meaningful Morning Tubs) and decided to try them out.  I was looking for more hands on activities where my kids could work together to design, create, and solve problems.  

They were a BIG hit and they can't wait to try them out again next week!
