My Project

We are working on learning in a outdoor setting. When Kindergarten students get to set outdoors and do various projects, including reading, writing,science etc. they have a much richer experience.

Learning in a outdoor environment, provides a wonderful natural experience for Kindergarten learners.

As our student population grows and the interest in outdoor learning becomes more popular, we have to meet the needs of our students by adding seating outdoors.

Our students love the outdoors and when we can go outside and study it is so much fun and creates a wonderful learning experience.
