My Project

We need some storage in our forest space. We can use this weatherproof shed to keep our clipboards, pencils, and crayons dry and safe. We can store our buckets, pots, pans, and birdseeds as well.

Students will be responsible to picking up and storing our supplies to keep them safe and out of the elements.

This will help them take pride in our space and keep the supplies in good condition.

As we expand our learning space in the forest we are in need of storage space to eliminate having to haul things back and forth each time. Being able to keep some supplies outside year-round will give us more space inside our classrooms. Having easy access to outdoor materials while outside will make for easier prep and clean-up routines.
