Bird Houses, Wind Chimes, Pinwheels & Wind Socks...Oh My!

Help me give my students bright new items to improve our school garden during outdoor learning!

My Project

Please help me to enhance the learning of the outdoor classroom with this DonorsChoose project. As we approach the Spring, our next learning unit will be on Plants. The children will have the opportunity to explore and learn outside. The Bird Houses, Wind Chimes, Pinwheels, Wind Socks and Shade Tent will brighten the garden space for my students to learn in!

When children play in natural spaces, they’re far more likely to invent their own games than in more structured settings – a key factor in becoming self-directed and inventive adults later in life ~Richard Louv.

Thank you very much for considering.
