My Project

Our outdoor learning space will give all of our fourth-grade students a comfortable and inviting place to explore math and science beyond the classroom walls. Tablecloths will create clean, welcoming work surfaces for hands-on activities, experiments, and collaborative math tasks, while an outdoor rug will provide a comfortable, bug-free area for students to gather, discuss ideas, read, and record observations. These simple additions will help transform our outdoor learning area into a functional learning environment where students can collaborate, think creatively, and connect classroom concepts to the natural world comfortably.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
