Love is in the air, and the Kindergarten February Morning Bins are sure to share the love! They have just been added to the Kindergarten Morning Bin Bundle!
February is one of my favorite months. It’s so easy to find a fun theme, and there are plenty of fun ideas that relate to Valentine’s Day.
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 February 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.
