My Project

My students are an energetic and industrious group of kids. We are working toward having an outside classroom in our nature trail area. We just received from DonorsChoose, a donation for a picnic table. We would like to have another table so that more kids would be able to sit outside at the same time.

Having another table would give more of our students a chance to listen and enjoy nature.

We would use the table to learn and look at insects, leaves, spruce cones, and also sit and use our binoculars to sit quietly and search for birds.

Please help me give my students another picnic table for our nature trail.
