My Project

Having tables will allow us to have all our Kindergarten classrooms participate in outdoor learning.

We currently infuse nature into our learning in the curricular areas, to make it fun and engaging.

The rich experience of learning while outdoors is a fabulous way to engage students.

The outdoor tables are a way to give the students the tools they need to be able to write, read, and explore in the outdoors.

One example of a way we use our outdoor classroom, is by watching the birds in the bird feeders and drawing and writing about them. It is wonderful and the kids enjoy it.
