Re:Build a Classroom bin - 2005/12/11 16:43
Hi! I totally agree with you about setting bins up in classrooms. I have helped my high school special ed class set up a bin for the past 2 years. It is a great educational tool. I use it across the curriculum for many different ability levels. For English, many writing assignments develop. Lots of math activities develop. Science is a given. Social Studies involves the community (school or local). It also teaches social skills and team work. My high school students are also learning on-the-job skills needed for any job (working together, how to handle conflict, giving and taking criticism, following directions, etc.) My lower level students love the hands on activities. My higher level students liked making power point presentations to give to other classes as well as making up brochures to pass around in the community. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
