My Project

We have a courtyard area located between our 4th and 5th grade hallways. This is an area where students can learn outside of the classroom environment. We do not have seating for the students outside therefore we would love to give them tables to sit at and umbrellas to enjoy their reading and other subject areas. This would be an area that teachers could take their class to or an area where small groups could complete activities since it is a courtyard inside out building! We have students who love to learn and move around outside as much as possible!
