My Project

We are currently working on planning and setting up our outdoor classroom space for Kindergarten! Students and I have recently been exploring outdoor math activities and are excited to further our outdoor learning experience.

My students and I are eager to create this space and to provide a wide variety of tools and materials for further exploration outside!

This project will provide our outdoor learning space and garden with another choice for outdoor seating. We currently have two children's Adirondack chairs for our learning space, and adding this wooden bench would provide students with another area to sit and engage in outdoor learning and exploration! This bench will be the perfect addition to our garden space and it will provide the opportunity for students to work side by side in various literacy, math and science tasks while outside.
