Beyond Our FOUR Walls - Tables for Outdoor Learning

Help me give my students outdoor tables to work and collaborate on projects.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Van Sickle's classroom raised $675

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students are scientists, mathematicians, readers, authors, artists, and explorers. My students make discoveries each and every day. They are budding world leaders and the world changers of tomorrow. This learning does not just happen inside the four walls of our classroom. My students need workspaces for our outside areas to complete projects and experiments.

My students need two picnic tables to allow us to collaboratively complete our science labs, complete STEM activities, and have a place to socialize that utilizes our outdoor setting.

My Project

Our students need picnic tables that will allow us to collaboratively complete STEM and science labs outside of our classrooms. Due to the fact that our campus does not have a science lab, we often work outside on our patios. These picnic tables will also be used by students during recess and lunches as well as during other class times.

Having picnic tables available in this space would allow greater flexibility for students to move, learn, and grow.

These spaces will allow our students to expand their horizons beyond the constraints of our classroom walls. Their addition will give us room to grow!
