Kindergarten May & June Morning Bins

by admin

The end of the year is just around the corner, and I’ve just added the Kindergarten May & June Morning Bins to the Kindergarten Morning Bin Bundle! As we prepare to wrap up the school year, it can become more difficult to keep students engaged and interested in reviewing all that they have learned over the year. That’s why I’ve kept the morning bins FUN! The cute summer theme and the hands-on games and activities are sure to bring a smile to your students’ faces.

NOTE: Many teachers are choosing to use these as early finisher tubs or during a different part of the day. Generic labels have been included for this purpose.

Let’s take a look at each of the Kindergarten May/June Morning Bins in action! There is no right or wrong way to use these morning bins! In fact, they can be used any time of the day! For example, you can place all 21 bins out each month and have students work on an individual bin, or you can bring one bin out each day. However, I like the idea of allowing a table group of 4-6 students to work on one bin at a time. This allows them to socialize, work as partners, and learn from one another.

To make things easy for you, each bin has simplified direction cards and a material list.

Students will think of three words that rhyme with the item and spell each of the words.
