Our world could use a little more love, and the February First Grade Morning Bins are sure to bring some! They have just been added to the First Grade Morning Bin Bundle!
February is one of my favorite months, and I can’t believe that it’s just around the corner! I love the fun that hearts, cards and candy can bring to the classroom. I hope that you and your students find these bins as fun as I had making them!
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.
